I have a screen shot here.</P> <P><A href="http://www.users.cloud9.net/%7Eandy/splunk_ips.jpg">http://www.users.cloud9.net/~andy/splunk_ips.jpg</A></P> <P>As you can see I restarted splunk at ~9 am and it looks like it ran for maybe 15 minutes and then stops collecting.</P> <P>Any help you can give would be great.</P> <P>I do have another question. It is in regards to the ID/PW being stored in clear text. Is there any way this information could be encrypted. I noticed this in the configuration file as well as the splunk logs.</P> <P>Thanks,</P> <P>Andy</P> Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:03:14 GMT andy66 2012-02-13T19:03:14Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/IPS-stops-polling/m-p/70995#M97058 <P>Hi,</P> <P>First off I want to say great app. Second I want to let you know that I'm new to Splunk and would real like some help.</P> <P>I installed splunk, cisco secuirty suite and the IPS app. I've been able to configure my IPS devices and create alerts. </P> <P>The problem I'm running into is that after splunk is running for a bit it appears to stop collecting IPS information and I"m not sure why.
