Is the sniffing interface enabled on the sensor?

Did you mean you dont see any events or
you see events but not high-severity as you made icmp * as high severity
?

1) Login to the sensor and use "show events" command to see the local
events. Thats one way.

Since you already have your sensor connected to the monitor destination
port, one way I can think is change the destination port to the PC and
run ethereal. This will make sure your switch monitor session config is
correct. Then you can revert back to sensor being the destination. and
you can be sure the switch is sending copies to that interface.

Can you send the config on the sensor port on switch ?
( Fa0/12 )

If your monitor session config is working fine, the other thing is to
see if your device config on the IEV is correct. I mean the information
about the sensor you use in the IEV.

Thanks
