James, yes, this happens when Snort hasn't inserted anything to mysql in a bit.
Mysql will time out the connection. I suggest the use of the unified output
plugin, then use "barnyard" to read those unified files and insert them into
the database.
As a general recommendation for everyone on the list, Snort should never be
logging directly to the DB.

Hey all!
Subject says it all...anyone else get these? All I have to do is restart
snort and life is fine. Tested out manually during the times that snort
says mysql has gone away with mysql -h 10.0.0.39 -u bleh -p and I connect
right off. Any hints on this? Thank you!
James
