I'm setting up a Snort sensor in our environment and I am unable to determine how I might get emailed on alerts. I understand some are using Swatch, but we are not logging to syslogs but rather to a mysql db. What are others doing in this case? If I can't get it to alert me, it doesn't do me as much good, as I do not have the time to watch it 24/7.
It's very easy to implement.
Log scans (portscan.log) to FIFO file (man mkfifo).
Create proces to listen on this FIFO and to send You e-mail notification
after incident (I use FIFO in authfail daemon: www.bmk.bz/authfail).
So You get e-mail notification in the real time.
Best regards,
Bartek.
