hi snorters
for those, who are interested in the solution.
or if you should have this problem, and dont wont to
delete all db-entries.
i did update ( adding a constant value ) all values of
all tables with column-name "cid" in the
alert-db to a value higher than max in the archive-db.
later i noticed, there is a table "sensor" with
column "last_cid" this value is only updated, if
snort terminates, i.e. with SIGTERM
but not if snort crashs or SIGKILL
maybe this is producing the situation.
best regards
hans

hi all
using snort and base 1.1.2 (zora)
i moved all alerts from the alert database to
the archive database. after it, i restarted snort, as
i did made some changes.
snort did start writing alerts to the database again.
now i try to move this new alerts to the archive db again.
this failes with following error:
Ignored x duplicate alert(s)
No alerts were selected or the Archive alert(s) (move) was not successful
the reason is simple. the new alerts have the same id
as some old, stored in the archive db.
snort did start counting beginning with 1 again.
what can i do ?
i could delete all entries in the archive.
any other ideas ?
i did restart snort more than one time. never had a problem.
imho snort reads the "last" cid, but if the db is emtpy, it
starts at 1.
looking in the archive db too ( which archive - snort doesn't know it )
or give an additional argument with the start number or calculate any
other unique key could solve the problem.
but all these would not solve my problem now.
best regards
hans
