Thanks Jim... and Tim.. Although I never got your email? Why I dunno,
lost in transit..

SQL does seem like the way to go the more I get into it.. And the
realtime alerts is what im after, plus the ability to be able to pull
data chunks would be a boneless!

I'll hit you up later for some more info as im a fair sql spaz. Now
seems like a good time to learn though.

Thanks

Greg

You guys Might just want to hook up with Joeseph.
He wrote some nifty text-to-SQL tools for ISA 2000 logging.

Eyeing Jim, huh?  I won't worry until you start playing Gordon Lightfoot

songs for him ;)

Though the db route seems like a "last resort" to you, there is some
cool stuff you can do if you decide to go there...  If you log to SQL,
not only do you get rich data gathering and analysis capabilities for
reporting, you can also take advantage of somewhat real-time procedure
execution in a more robust environment...  For instance, a "run while
idle" job can easily aggregate log data in pseudo-real-time to launch
email/pager/etc alerts, or execute "rule injection" scripts back to the
ISA server that are suited to
your needs.   (Note that "run while idle" requires the MSSQL service to
be
running as a local admin, so secure that box well if you use RWI as
opposed to something that runs every few minutes or so...)

I've been planning to implement something like this for 2k4 as I used to
do with 2k when I get some free (HA!) time... But let me know if you'd
like

some help with the SQL end of things.  I've messed with SQL once or
twice ;)

http://www.ISAserver.org


Im looking for something that allows me to be alerted when I get a scan or connection fail/attempt from a particular ip (one I would like to specify).

I would like to be able to do it through the alerts stuff but it doesn't
allow it. I have thought of logging to a database and writing a query
that pulls that info and mails me when it happens, but that is somewhere
I will only go if I really need to..

I'm eyeing Jim here with the possibility that a script can do it, but im
not sure..

Any suggestions..

G
