Verifying the Signature Database
Verifying the IDP Policy Compilation and Load Status
Purpose
Display the IDP log files to verify the IDP policy load and compilation status. When activating an IDP policy, you can view the IDP logs and verify if the policy is loaded and compiled successfully.
Action
To track the load and compilation progress of an IDP policy, configure either one or both of the following in the CLI:
- You can configure a log file, which will be located in /var/log/, and set trace option flags to record these operations:user@host# set security idp traceoptions file idpduser@host# set security idp traceoptions flag all
- You can configure your device to log system log messages
to a file in the /var/log directory:user@host# set system syslog file messages any any
After committing the configuration in the CLI, enter either of the following commands from the shell prompt in the UNIX-level shell:

Meaning
Displays log messages showing the procedures that run in the background after you commit the set security idp active-policy command. This sample output shows that the policy compilation, sensor configuration, and policy load are successful.
Verifying the IDP Signature Database Version
Purpose
Display the signature database version.
Action
From the operational mode in the CLI, enter show security idp security-package-version.
Sample Output
user@host> show security idp security-package-versionAttack database version:31(Wed Apr 16 15:53:46 2008) Detector version :9.1.140080400 Policy template version :N/A
Meaning
The output displays the version numbers for the signature database, protocol detector, and the policy template on the IDP-enabled device. Verify the following information:
- Attack database version—On April 16, 2008, the version of the signature database active on the device is 31.
- Detector version—Displays the version number of the IDP protocol detector currently running on the device.
- Policy template version—Displays the version of the policy template that is installed in the /var/db/scripts/commit directory when you run the request security idp security-package install policy-templates configuration statement in the CLI.
For a complete description of show security idp security-package-version output, see the Junos OS CLI Reference.
