How can I stop my Sonicwall NSA 240 to stop sending me alerts about "possible port scans?"

  • 772

I couldn't care less about port scans and I like to have alerts emailed to me. Instead of seeing important alerts (losing a WAN line, catching malware, etc) I'm getting tons and tons of "possible port scans." Its incredibly annoying and so far I cannot find any way to turn them off without turning off all alerts. Please tell me this is possible. Thanks!

    Doesn't look like its possible without disabling all IDS alerts.

  2. We have a SonicWall with OS v6.2 and I was able to navigate to Log > Settings and find the categories Attacks > Port Scan Probable & Attacks > Port Scan Possible and uncheck the Email setting for them.

  3. I ran into this problem also but mlhDevs Tip did it for me. A little more detailed to get there is: Log / settings / Security Services / Attacks / Port Scan Possible. Edit that rule and disable the email notifications.
