HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Version 4.2 Administration Guide

Example C-6 To generate a report for all the managed agents starting from a particular date
/opt/ids/bin/idsadmin –r --start-date 20070101
This command generates a report for all the managed alerts starting from January 01 2007. This
report is saved as an HTML file in /var/opt/ids/reports/
HIDS_Report<date-time>.html. Figure C-2 shows a screenshot of the report in HTML
format.
Figure C-2 Screenshot of the Generated Report in .html Format
NOTE: While generating alert reports in .html format, consider the following points:
• To display an HTML report as shown in the above screenshot, you must ensure that the
directory that contains the .html report also contains the hids.css and the hp_logo.gif
files. If your directory does not contain these files, you can copy them from the /var/opt/
ids/reports directory.
• The layout and format of the .html reports can be customized by modifying the Cascading
Style Sheet (CSS) file.
• The HTML formatted reports display correctly on mozilla-based web browsers. Internet
Explorer does not entirely conform to the CSS standard. The hids.css stylesheet file does
not compensate for these limitations in Internet Explorer.
