Sheriff CSMâ„¢
Event Management
Sheriff CSM Server receives normalized log data called events from one or more Sheriff CSM Sensors (Deputies), correlates and prioritizes them across all assets, and then presents them in the web UI as a variety of summary and detailed views.
When you select the
Analysis > Security Events (SIEM) menu option, Sheriff CSM displays the following page.
By default, the
Security Events (SIEM) page displays a SIEM view of events. The Sheriff CSM web UI also provides two other options for displaying security events:
-
Real-Time
View that shows events in progress in your network.
-
External Databases
Display security events from an external Sheriff database that is associated with a different Sheriff CSM installation. For more information on configuring a connection to an external Sheriff database, see How to display Security Events from an External Sheriff Database.
From the SIEM option view, you can search and filter for events using time ranges and other event attribute criteria.
Below the Search Filter section of the page, Sheriff CSM provides a display of all events, or filtered events (if you specified search criteria for events). Any normalized log event, or any other event received or generated by any Sheriff CSM Sensor tion, system, or network level will appear in the display unless a Sheriff CSM policy has filtered it out or you have specified search filter criteria.
From the tabular summary listing of events, you can click on a specific event row to view further details about that event in a popup window. You can also click the

icon in an event row to display event detail on a new page, which also lets you choose further actions to take with the current event.
