Chapter 27 Configuring Threat Detection

Configuring Advanced Threat Detection Statistics

To monitor advanced threat detection statistics, perform one of the following tasks:

Command	Purpose

show threat-detection statistics	Displays the top 10 statistics.
[min-display-rate min_display_rate] top	The min-display-ratemin_display_rate argument limits the display to
[[access-list host port-protocol]
[rate-1 rate-2 rate-3]	statistics that exceed the minimum display rate in events per second. You
tcp-intercept [all] detail]]	can set the min_display_rate between 0 and 2147483647.
	If you do not enter any options, the top 10 statistics are shown for all
	categories.
	To view the top 10 ACEs that match packets, including both permit and
	deny ACEs, use the access-listkeyword. Permitted and denied traffic are
	not differentiated in this display. If you enable basic threat detection using
	the threat-detectionbasic-threatcommand, you can track ACL denies
	using the show threat-detection rate acl-drop command.
	To view only host statistics, use the host keyword. Note: Due to the threat
	detction algorithm, an interface used as a combination failover and state
	link could appear in the top 10 hosts; this is expected behavior, and you
	can ignore this IP address in the display.
	To view statistics for ports and protocols, use the port-protocolkeyword.
	The port-protocolkeyword shows statistics for both ports and protocols
	(both must be enabled for the display), and shows the combined statistics
	of TCP/UDP port and IP protocol types. TCP (protocol 6) and UDP
	(protocol 17) are not included in the display for IP protocols; TCP and
	UDP ports are, however, included in the display for ports. If you only
	enable statistics for one of these types, port or protocol, then you will only
	view the enabled statistics.
	To view TCP Intercept statistics, use the tcp-interceptkeyword. The
	display includes the top 10 protected servers under attack. The all
	keyword shows the history data of all the traced servers. The detail
	keyword shows history sampling data. The ASA samples the number of
	attacks 30 times during the rate interval, so for the default 30 minute
	period, statistics are collected every 60 seconds.
	The rate-1keyword shows the statistics for the smallest fixed rate
	intervals available in the display; rate-2shows the next largest rate
	interval; and rate-3, if you have three intervals defined, shows the largest
	rate interval. For example, the display shows statistics for the last 1 hour,
	8 hours, and 24 hours. If you set the rate-1keyword, the ASA shows only
	the 1 hour time interval.

show threat-detection statistics	Displays statistics for all hosts or for a specific host or subnet.
[min-display-rate min_display_rate] host
[ip_address [mask]]

show threat-detection statistics	Displays statistics for all ports or for a specific port or range of ports.
[min-display-rate min_display_rate] port
[start_port[-end_port]]
