I am trying to migrate to unified output with barnyard logging to a remote database, but while I am finalizing all the configurations I want to run two output processors side by side. Currently I have "output log_tcpdump: tcpdump.log" in snort.conf and "-A fast -l /log/dir" on the command line amongst other switches. This creates an alert file and a tcpdump file in the log dir. So far so good. I added output alert_unified: filename unified.alert, limit 128 output log_unified: filename unified.log, limit 128 to snort.conf, hoping this would continue writing to alert and to tcpdump.log and create two more files for unified output. However, what happens is that upon restart only unified.log gets created. /log/dir/alert keeps getting written to, but no unified.alert gets created. I suspect it has to do with the -A switch and the fact that it overrides the output alert_unified command. Does anyone know how to continue logging alerts in fast format while at the same time logging them unified format? ------------------------------------------- Gary Portnoy -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message is for the named person's use only.
