En réponse à olliecat <olliecat () bellatlantic net>:
I am logging to mysql just fine and I would rather not log anywhere else. How can I do this? I also noticed, when starting from the command line, I must specify a log file path otherwise I get: "[!] ERROR: Can not get write access to logging directory "/var/log/snort". (directory doesn't exist or permissions are set incorrectly or it is not a directory at all) Fatal Error, Quitting.." Its right, there is no /var/log/snort because I want everything in the mysql database. Am I missing something? Thanks.
Hi. I noticed quite the same thing: I only use MySQL to log alerts and all snort's outputs, but snort seems to need some place on th:e filesystem (like /var/log/snort). I also noticed that if, for a reason or antother, snort can not connect to the MySQL DB anymore, it switches to filesystem logging, i.e. logging alerts in /var/log/snort directory. I would prefer when using MySQL for logging that snort just stops logging instead... or, better, be able to use a backup MySQL server.
