Event Viewer 
The high-performance and easy-to-use integrated Event Viewer allows you to centrally monitor events 
from IPS, ASA, and FWSM devices and correlate them to the related configuration policies. This helps 
you identify problems and troubleshoot configurations. Then, using Configuration Manager, you can 
make adjustments to the configurations and deploy them. Event Viewer supports event management for 
Cisco ASA, IPS, and FWSM devices. 
In addition to the Primary Event Data Store, events can be copied and stored in the Extended Event Data 
Store. The Extended Event Data Store can be used to back up and archive a larger number of events. This 
is useful for historical review and analysis of events where Event Viewer can gather event data from both 
the Primary Event Data Store and the Extended Event Data Store. The Extended Event Data Store can 
be enabled in Event Management in Security Manager’s Administration settings. 
For supported platforms and more information, refer to the “Monitoring and Diagnostics” part of the 
 on Cisco.com. 
Report Manager 
The new integrated Report Manager application allows you to generate and schedule ASA, IPS, and 
Remote Access VPN reports. Reports for ASA and IPS devices are created by aggregating and 
summarizing events collected by Event Viewer. Security reports can be utilized to efficiently monitor, 
track, and audit network use and security problems reported by managed devices. Users can use Report 
Manager to develop and customize reports for Cisco ASA and IPS devices. 
For supported platforms and more information, refer to the “Monitoring and Diagnostics” part of the
