Correction.. I am running the emerging on this box... just renamed to 
bleeding via script because I was to lazy to change in my config file at 
the time.. I'll fix that now as to avoid this confusion in the future....

Also, back to 100% with the below ruleset and no logging... but 
profiling.. so I'll let you know shortly hopefully

Yes to all.  On FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE with the Snort 2.8.2.X from the 
FreeBSD ports tree, I have the same issues even with just a minimum 
Snort âstockâ rule set enabled.  It logs to MySQL no longer than an 
hour, and usually stops logging within minutes after starting.  It 
then consumes the entire CPU until I kill -9 the process.  I 
downloaded and built a binary from the previous 2.8.1 code base, and 
itâs been running now for weeks without a hiccup using the complete 
Snort rule set as well as the Emerging Threats âALLâ rules (less I 
few I culled for my specific needs).  I have been running Snort on 
FreeBSD forever (since 1.X code), and this is the first time Iâve 
had a problem of this magnitude.  So, until someone can figure out 
whatâs going on with 2.8.2, Iâm stuck in the 2.8.1 world.

Any other bizarre behavior... i.e. high cpu usage during

Not that I can see:

COMMAND          21726 snort   16   0  539m 474m 2184 S  9.7 23.6   
0:27.04 snort 
The process averages on +- 10% CPU and occasionally spikes to 99%. 
hmm, maybe I should roll back to 2.8.0 like Brent did and see if 
that helps. This is the first time in my experience with snort that 
it does something like this.

Hello List and Craig,
Hi Brent :)

 
I have the same problem when running Snort 2.8.2.1 in binary dump 
mode.

So I dropped back to Snort 2.8.0

And I still have not figured out the problem.

Any one have any ideas?

Hi List,

I have installation running 2.8.2.1 that stops logging to the database
and log file after about 1 minute of starting up.

has anyone experienced the same problem yet or have some advise as to
where I can start looking for what might be the cause?

Thanks

Craig
