SIEM (NIDS) Dashboard Overview

Created by Jaseem Masood, Modified on Tue, 13 May at 4:59 PM by Jaseem Masood

The SIEM (NIDS) dashboard provides real-time visibility into network-based intrusion detection events. It categorizes and displays alerts generated by monitoring traffic across network segments to detect malicious activity or policy violations. 


Time Range Filter:
Allows users to define a custom date range to analyze trends and anomalies over time. 



Alert Counters by Severity:
Shows the total number of alerts grouped into five severity levels:

  • Alert 

  • Critical 

  • Warning 

  • Notice 

  • Info

These counters provide a snapshot of network security posture over the selected date range.


Alerts Timeline Chart:
A line graph visually representing the volume and type of alerts detected throughout the day. Each severity level is color-coded for quick identification.


Alert Actions (Records)

  • Reserved for showing specific responses or actions triggered by alerts (e.g., block, log, notify).

  • Currently empty or awaiting data integration.


 Clients (Records)

  • Displays a donut chart showing the total number of alerts triggered by different client IP addresses.

  • Helps identify which internal clients are most often involved in suspicious or high-volume alert activity.

  • A legend lists IPs with alert counts and supports pagination for extended visibility.


Server (Records)

  • Another donut chart visualizing alert counts based on destination or target server IPs.

  • Useful for detecting targeted systems, high-traffic endpoints, or possibly compromised devices.


Services (Records)

  • Intended to show alerts broken down by network services (e.g., HTTP, DNS, SMB).

  • Currently shows "0 Total Alerts", indicating no service-level detection is reported in the selected range.
