Thanks Paul.
2) Why do I get this error? How can I shut this off? Is this warning a
problem?
WARNING: Unable to extract timestamp file extension from 'snort.log'
Shut what off?
Sudhakar: Why I get this warning? "WARNING: Unable to extract timestamp file
extension from 'snort.log'"
What can I do to turn off this warning?
--Sudhakar
3) What is a good size to set for files below?
# Two arguments are supported.
# filename - base filename to write to (current time_t is appended)
# limit - maximum size of spool file in MB (default: 128)
#
output alert_unified: filename snort.alert, limit 128
output log_unified: filename snort.log, limit 128
What happens when the file size (128) is reached? Does Snort die or
restart?
The defaults are fine. When they're reached, snort simply starts a new
logfile.
4) I briefly looked at implementation of barnyard. I may be wrong here.
How
does barnyard poll the directory? Is it busy-looping?
It watches for new entries in the log.
5) What is the difference between alert and log? I am thinking alert is
the
human readable version. What is the difference between snort.log and
snort.log.timestamp?
You really need to learn how to do your own research. Most of your
questions
have already been asked hundreds of times and answered.
