HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Version 4.4 Administrator Guide (5900-1634, April 2011)

Example 14 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 44 shows a screenshot of the report in HTML format.
Figure 44 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.
