For More Information For the procedure for enabling and disabling Telnet on the sensor, and configuring the web server, refer to Changing Network Settings . Signatures Not Producing Alerts Caution You cannot add other actions each time you configure the event actions. You are actually replacing the list of event actions every time you configure it, so make sure you choose Produce Alert every time you configure event actions. If you are not seeing any alerts when signatures are firing, make sure that you have configured Produce Alert as an event action. For example, if you choose Produce Alert, but later add another event action and do not add Produce Alert to the new configuration, alerts are not sent to the Event Store. To make sure you are getting alerts, check the statistics for the virtual sensor and Event Store. For More Information • For more information about event actions, refer to Event Actions. • For the procedure for configuring event actions, refer to Assigning Actions to Signatures. • For the procedure for obtaining statistics about virtual sensor and Event Store, refer to Displaying Statistics.

Signatures Not Producing Alerts
Caution
You cannot add other actions each time you configure the event actions. You are actually replacing the
list of event actions every time you configure it, so make sure you choose Produce Alert every time you
configure event actions.
If you are not seeing any alerts when signatures are firing, make sure that you have configured Produce
Alert as an event action. For example, if you choose Produce Alert, but later add another event action
and do not add Produce Alert to the new configuration, alerts are not sent to the Event Store. To make
sure you are getting alerts, check the statistics for the virtual sensor and Event Store.
