Hello Group,

I'm trying to determine what "ET CHAT MSN status change" means in Squil? There isn't much documentation on what this alert means or indicates.


Thanks.

Wes

Namobud,

It is my impression that this indicates that traffic was noticed that is similar to that of a person's change in status (Available, Busy,etc) for an instant messaging application, particularly MSN messenger, Skype, Lync, etc, letting you know this may be a policy violation (if you do not allow IM, or a specific IM, etc)

You can see the definition in /etc/nsm/rules/downloaded.rules, and can modify it if you need to via modifysid.conf or through local.rules.

Thanks,
Wes
