HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Version 4.1 Administrator's Guide

Figure 7-1 Network Node Alerts Tab
Each alert entry displays the alert severity, the attacker, the attack type, the date and
time the alert was generated, and other data. The columns displayed depend on
selections on the Preferences screen, which lists and describes all the column names.
For more information see “Alert Events Preferences” (page 129).
Alerts are highlighted with color bars to emphasize the severity level of the potential
attack (your colors may vary).
Red (severity 1) This is a critical alert. A critical alert indicates a direct
and immediate compromise of a system.
Yellow (severity 2) This is a severe alert. A severe alert can indicate an attack
that can compromise the system, but without fatal
consequences.
Blue (severity 3) This is a moderate alert. A moderate alert can provide
information about an event that can be used to carry out
a more severe attack on the system.
When you select an alert, regardless of its severity, it is highlighted in light blue and
marked as Seen. The panel below the list of alerts shows the detailed description of
the last selected alert.
