what is the output of grep -i output /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf or can you send me your snort.conf Jacob, Raymond A Jr wrote:
Question: Can snort send alerts to the mysql database without writing an
output file?
Solutions that did not work:
a) When I run the above command line without -A none and -K none I get
alerts sent to ids database
i.e./usr/local/bin/snort -Dq -dev -o -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf
-i mi0 -u user -g group
b) When I run with the -A none I get the pcap files but no alerts sent
to ids database.
c) -Y option in FLoP /* I don't have FLoP installed */
Solution that works:
/usr/local/bin/snort -Dq -de -o -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf
-i mi0 -u user -g group
sleep 2
rm /var/log/snort/alert
The previous snort administrator had this in his snort.sh file.
No alert file is produced and logs are sent to the mysql database.
Question: Is there a switch that will not produce an alert file and
still send alerts to
the mysql database?
Question: Does the commercial version of snort software have this Denial
of Service bug?
The denial of service is a result of running out of disk space on the
sensor.
This happened after a month when snort first was deployed a few years ago.
Thank you for your help,
Raymond
