Hi Nerijus,
'-K none' does only affect logging, not the alerts...
In my snort.conf I have only one output plugin configured. And that
is database. On a command line I have: 'snort -K none -o -e -c
<my_snort.conf_with_only_db_output_plugin> -X -d -y -D -i
<interface_to_sniff>'. This combination works like charm. I have an
empty /var/log/snort dir and alerts go right into the database. Isn't
this what the OP wanted? (Can't figure it out now, cause the whole
thread is messed all around my gmail.) Snort version is 2.4.3 (if that
matters) running on linux.
ah, I guess I see the problem...
If you use the database output for "log" only, then no alert output
plugin is activated. In this case the alerts are written to /var/log/snort.
(Stupid enough, most alerts are written to "alert" and "log"...)
So probably your database output plugin is activated with the "alert"
facility? So '-N' or '-K none' deactivates logging and the activated
database alert plugin avoids the writing of the alert file...
Change the database plugin to log and you will see the alert file again
but then you can not use the database output plugin due to '-K none' ...

You spent the drinks? Fine, when and where?
Only for you, Dirk. And only if you come to my city. :) Deal? :)
That's a deal, but where is your city? Probably too far away for a drinking
game...
Best regards
Dirk
