Host Protection for Windows agent is not generating network events


Technote (troubleshooting)


Problem(Abstract)

Customers running IBM Host Protection may notice that they are not receiving network-based events, but are receiving OS audit events from the agent.

Resolving the problem

Please verify that the Windows service "Base Filtering Engine" is running correctly. The Host Protection for Windows uses an inline driver that connects to the Base Filtering module. If this service is disabled or not running, then network traffic will bypass the agent's network driver. The agent will continue to function and report audit events, but it will not see network traffic.
