HIDS cannot save timetable

Elena Leontieva — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 16:00:54 GMT

Hi,

I have HPUX-HIDS E.04.01.23 HP-UX Host IDS E.04.01 installed on HP-UX 11.23.
I chose the schedule to run on Monday-Friday and save it. When I close/open the Schedule Manager my timetable looks OK.
But if I exit the System Manager and start it again, only Monday is highlighted in a timetable for this schedule.
What am I missing?

Thank you,
Elena.

Hi Elena -

I can not currently reproduce this problem. Did you make sure to select your Surveillance Schedule in the Schedule Manager as well as the Surveillance Group in the Time Table tab, both when you set the time table and also when you viewed it after restarting the System Manager?

If so, please list the contents of your schedule file:

% cat /etc/opt/ids/schedules/.txt

where is the name of the schedule in question. I would like to see if the STARTTIME and ENDTIME values correspond to what you are seeing in the Schedule Manager Time Table tab.

Pierre

Your schedule shows that the FileModificationGroup is scheduled to run Monday thru Friday between 9 and 10 am. See http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-2108/apes05.html for a description of the STARTTIME/ENDTIME syntax (HH:MM:D).

My guess is that you have some other schedule with a group that is scheduled to run on Monday only and that you have that other schedule and group selected (highlighted) when viewing the time table. Make sure you have selected "file-ww-creation" schedule in the Schedule list and the "FileModificationGroup" in the time table tab.
