I'm ccing snort-users and barnyard-users since barnyard-users looks to be a bit quiet recently.
Two questions...Should I be generating both a log and alert unified log and processing each with it's own barnyard process or does log include the data in alert? I've seen some posts on this, but nothing definitive or documented.
Secondly is there anyway to get more information on failures in barnyard processing besides -v? I'm looking at a pretty simple configuration in barnyard that should be shooting stuff over to a mysql setup for acid. As the mysql session shows, there are events in the database, but no sensors. With the limited data acid doesn't function properly.
