How to create S-TAP failover alert in Guardium

Question & Answer


Question

How do I create an alert if a primary S-TAP host becomes inactive and the S-TAP failovers to a secondary host?

Answer

A correlation alert can be created for S-TAP failovers. Create the alert as in the screenshot below:

  1. Give the Alert a Name and Description
  2. Set Run Frequency, Accumulation Interval and Notification Frequency as required
  3. Set Threshold as 1
  4. Add receiver/s
  5. For Query, chose 'S-TAP Events' from the drop down list. The Query Parameters as follows:
  • tapMessageLike String: Connected to Seconday Server% * 'Seconday' is how it should be spelt in alert definition due to typo in the reports.
  • EventTypeLike String: %
  • HostLike String: %
