Re: [Snort-users] portscan events not showing up in base

Woops...

the portscan2 module should've read, and now does read

preprocessor portscan2: scanners_max 3200, targets_max 5000, target_limit 12, 
port_limit 25, timeout 3, log portscan2.log

I keep log files for the two portscan preprocessors that I rotate quite
frequently (every time they hit 20 megs) with some perl code I wrote,
just in case I need more info than the DB gives me (in this case it's
been helpful since I'm getting no portscan info from the db :)

What is your portscan line from your snort.conf file?

Hello,

I'm using snort 2.4.4 but not sfportscan, rather the older portscan and
portscan2 modules.  I've just realized that, although portscans are
being detected just fine, they aren't being propagated through barnyard
into the base database.  

e.g.

select * from acid_event where sig_name like '%portscan%' and timestamp >
'2006-05-01 00:00:00';

returns nothing

If I change the date portion to sometime last month, before I switched
from sfportscan, I get all sorts of results.   Does anyone have any clue
what might be causing this?

thanks,
