Is your sensor configured for normal syslog messages to go to the
remote server?  You should be able to configure snort to log to the
local syslogd, and then have that configured to forward the data to
your LOGHOST.

Subject: [Snort-users] Remote syslogging with multiple interfaces

Hi all,

I have two interfaces on my sensors - a dedicated sniffing
interface and a dedicated management interface.  The sniffing
interfaces cannot talk on the network.

I'd like to send syslog events to a remote management machine. 
However, snort is running on the sniff interface (eth1), and I
believe it's trying to send the syslog stuff out that interface. 
This doesn't work.   Is there any way to get snort to sniff on one
interface and send syslog events on another?

I'm using:

output alert_syslog: host=192.168.40.104:514, LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT

in snort.conf rather than using -s on the command line ( -s
wouldn't allow me to run snort since the interface didn't have an
IP).

I would imagine that this would just work without having to mess
around with interfaces, but I am not seeing any events on my
management box or out of tcpdump -i eth1 on the snort sensor.



Thanks,

Kevin
