Chapter 27 Configuring Threat Detection

Configuring Advanced Threat Detection Statistics

•Burst Threshold Rate—Sets the threshold for syslog message generation, between 25 and 2147483647. The default is 400 per second. When the burst rate is exceeded, syslog message 733104 is generated.

•Average Threshold Rate—Sets the average rate threshold for syslog message generation, between 25 and 2147483647. The default is 200 per second. When the average rate is exceeded, syslog message 733105 is generated.

Click Set Default to restore the default values.

Step 6 Click Apply.

Monitoring Advanced Threat Detection Statistics

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

Path

Purpose

 

 

Home > Firewall Dashboard > Top 10 Access

Displays the top 10 statistics.

Rules

For the Top 10 Access Rules, permitted and denied traffic are not

 

Home > Firewall Dashboard > Top Usage

differentiated in this display. In the Traffic Overview > Dropped Packets

Statistics

Rate graph, you can track ACL denies.

 

The Top 10 Sources and Top 10 Destinations tabs show statistics for hosts.

 

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.

 

The Top 10 Services tab 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.

 

The Top Ten Protected Servers under SYN Attack area shows the TCP

 

Intercept statistics. The display includes the top 10 protected servers

 

under attack. The detail button 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.

 

From the Interval drop-down list, choose Last 1 hour, Last 8 hour, or

 

Last 24 hour.
