Configuring system monitoring for OneSpan Authentication Server events

OneSpan Authentication Server event targets monitor critical OneSpan Authentication Server events. These targets can be configured in the OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance Configuration Tool.

The source for these targets are audit messages that are generated by the Identikey Server source. In the OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance Configuration Tool, select Monitoring > Audit Logs and check the Source column.

Configuring system monitoring targets for OneSpan Authentication Server events

To configure system monitoring targets for OneSpan Authentication Server events

1. Launch the OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance Configuration Tool and enter your credentials (see Accessing OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance Configuration Tool and OneSpan Authentication Server Administration Web Interface).
2. Select Authentication Server > System Monitoring Alerts.
3. Select Enabled to enable notification about OneSpan Authentication Server events.

4. Add one or more notification target types for notification using Add Target and specify the settings for each notification target.

   If SNMP traps are used as targets for OneSpan Authentication Server events, the system event trap already contains all relevant event information data that will be sent directly in the notification. Additional information may also be available in the audit messages. To view this information, select Monitoring > Audit Logs and use the AMID number from the SNMP trap to look for additional information.

   For more information about the different notification target settings, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance Administrator Reference.

To receive notifications as SNMP traps you need to configure an SNMP trap server (see Configuring SNMP trap handlers).

Filtering OneSpan Authentication Server events for notification

You can filter OneSpan Authentication Server events you want to be notified about as these events occur instead of searching through an extensive list of audit logs to locate potentially critical system events. By defining one or more filters you describe which audit messages need to be filtered.

For more information about filtering events, see Filtering OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance Configuration Tool events for notification.

SNMP traps about OneSpan Authentication Server events will only be operational for audit lines that are generated by OneSpan Authentication Server itself.
