Yes - all other outputs i.e. tcpdump, fast, standard are working properly. Its only csv that is not producing any output. Thanks for pointing to the Snort development site. Apologies for posting to private e-mail unintentionally. Come on guys, is there anyone to point out where I might have problem??????

However, due to my ignorance I couldn't get muchoutof it.inline -- could you please elobarate more.Perhaps it is because command line options override the config file.I don't really think so, because the tcpdump output is working withoutanyglitches.Did you try?You will have to write the code to make packet data available in thecsv.I guessed so -- can you provide any useful links, where to start fromandwhich module/preprocessor to modify??You should start reading here - http://www.snort.org/docs/#devel Specifically, look at src/output-plugins/spo_csv.c For templates check out hte sources in the templates directories. Please keep replies on list, it doesn't much help the next person when things go off-line.On Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 12:52 PM, Jason <security () brvenik com> wrote:inline Kamran Shafi wrote:Hi All, I am new to Snort and this is my first mail to this list so pleasebearwithme. First - I have been trying hard for last few days to get csv plug-inworkfor me but it has not. I am on Fedora Core 7 and running Snort 2.8.1the latest version. I am running Snort with the following command: snort -A console -i lo -c test.conf (please see the output of runningthiscommand at the bottom of this mail) I have enabled only one rules file i.e. local.rules and have some testrulesin it. the entry for my csv output plug-in in the test.conf file is output alert_CSV: /var/log/alert.csv default Afterwards I generate some attack traffic and get some alerts on the console. (please see the output at the end of this mail). The problem is that the alert.csv is never created!!! I have tried using full mode, -h flag and few other tricks but nothingisworkingPerhaps it is because command line options override the config file.Please note that I have not installed barnyard and assume that it isnotamust for csv module to work. My second question is the following: If I am lucky enough to configure the csv module correctly with thehelpofyou gurus, then how can I extend this module to add more details aboutthepacket payload to the csv output ? I have posted similar messages on Snort forum without any response.Anyhelpis appreciated.You will have to write the code to make packet data available in thecsv.
