We're probably going to need your barnyard command line as well.

Hi,

I have Snort outputting in unified format, and two instances of Barnyard (version 0.20) running, one that sends the log 
data to BASE, and another that sends the alert data to a syslog server.  This was working perfectly until just 
recently, and I can't see what would be wrong.  I've recently updated to Snort 2.8.4.1, and of course Ubuntu OS patches.

Running tcpdump shows the OS syslog messages being sent to my syslog server, but nothing from barnyard.  Snort is 
creating the alert files, and barnyard seems to be processing them (the waldo file is being updated), but nothing comes 
out via syslog.

Snort config:
output alert_unified: filename snort.alert, limit 128

Barnyard config:
output alert_syslog2: severity: ALERT; syslog_host: 1.1.1.1;
