Hi, 
 that is working correctly as far as I can tell reviewing my XG115w. If you review each type you will find there is using the drop down menu on the 'show' I expect you will find no values indicating that there are no attacks.

Hi Tahira Ahmed As no Log Viewer logs were observed for IPS in your shared snapshot, it cannot confirm IPS is not working. it may have other possibilities like IPS alert is not yet triggered as no such detection observed for traffic OR may be the firewall rule that allows traffic not containing any IPS policy over it due to that it is not detecting any known IPS signature rule and not taking action on it. OR IPS is there on the rule but a limited set of signatures are there added in that IPS and those not yet triggered are based on traffic passing via it. - It is just my suspicion based on the information on this thread so far. In case you would like to test and validate it, you may create a custom IPS signature to block some known traffic for URL or IP and add that IPS signature with drop action to any new test IPS policy and apply this IPS policy to test machine LAN to WAN rule and generate traffic and that should give you Log Viewer Logs under "IPS". doc.sophos.com/.../index.html
