Russ,

Yes, that is why we are saying that it is not working.

Thanks,
Larry

    Russ,

    The following lines within our threshold.conf file do not work, we are still getting alerts for them as soon as 
snort detects them, not the 3600 seconds we have it set for:

  The configs below will output 1 event per sid each 3600 seconds by source IP, starting with the 1st event.  Are you 
getting more than one event per source IP for the same sid in less than 3600 seconds?


    event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 384, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
    event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 408, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
    event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 366, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
    event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 128, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600

      OK - can you be more specific about how it isn't working for you?

        Yes, we have the include statement in our snort.conf

        Thanks,

          do you have a line in your snort.conf like this

          # Event thresholding or suppression commands. See threshold.conf
          include threshold.conf

          have you tried to suppress them?  What happens?

            Hi,

            We have tried everything to get thresholding (threshold.conf) working in 2.8.6.1?
            Here is our code within threshold.conf:


            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 384, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 408, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 366, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 128, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 648, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 1394, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 2006402, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 2001219, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 124, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 122, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 1, sig_id 2006380, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600
            event_filter gen_id 3, sig_id 119, type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 3600

            What are we doing wrong or is thresholding broken?

            Thanks,
            Larry
