The common interface is via HP OpenView or IBM NetView and uses standard conventions for those tools. This includes icons changing color, pull down menus for additional information requests and clicking on icons for additional information. The Director also includes an embedded HTML database of information on the various attacks and recommended countermeasures. The Director includes tools that will load the event information into a relational database such as Oracle. Sample data tables, information queries, and report templates are also included to get the user up and running quickly.
Events contain an icon that indicates the severity as well as a distinct event name.
Multiple occurrences of the same event are combined into a single notification. The user can drill down into event data to find out exactly what happened, what actions RealSecure took in response to the event, and what other related events have also occurred. Event data can also be stored in an ODBC-compliant database for generation of reports. Reports are available in text and graphic formats and the user can launch customized reports from the interface, if desired. Also included are tools for generating bar graphs, pie charts, and scatter plots.
