smartevent alerts

RE: credential guessing

So, I have smart event set to 

1. send me an email

2. block source for a day

I noticed that I received the email but the source was NOT blocked for the day.  Which was good since it was a legitimate user, but curious if other users had a similar experience.

I didn't see any SAM blocks from that source IP in smartevent just the email.

Any other logs about it?

Good idea!

Failed to add the following dynamic (SAM) rule: Action: Reject , Source IP: xx.63.x.xxx, Expiration: 86400 seconds, Track: Alert, Additional Info: sam file size exceeded

Got a screenshot of it?

failed to SAM drop for day

What Phoneboy sent sounds like a good solution for that.

There are a limited number of SAM rules supported.
The SAM database will need be purged.
Go to the relevant gateway object and check the "Purge" box.
Push policy.
Go back to the object and disable the "Purge" box.
Push policy again.
Or you can leave the auto-purge on and set a value for it (5mb was the last maximum I saw for this).
