Hi, I use a debian 5 modified by alienvault (OSSIM Siem). The kill -usr1 <pid> does not send anything to /var/log/message or /var/lod/snort* I'll try the preproc (preprocessor perfmonito) wich seems to do what i want. Thanks for your help Thibault 2011/12/13 Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com>
You can issue the USR1 command to Snort. Kill -usr1 (pidof snort) will dump the stats of the running Snort process to the output file (on redhat/fedora, /var/log/messages) J On Dec 13, 2011, at 8:10 AM, Thibault - Gonfreecs - wrote: Hi there, I need to get the amount of packet which have been dropped by snort. I can get this when runing manualy snort (snort -n 100 -i eth0) in the stat summary after stoping snort (CTRL+C) like this : ..... =============================================================================== Packet I/O Totals: Received: 100 Analyzed: 100 (100.000%) Dropped: 0 ( 0.000%) Filtered: 0 ( 0.000%) Outstanding: 0 ( 0.000%) Injected: 0 =============================================================================== ..... Is there a way to get this information (dropped packets) in the /proc filesystem while snort is runing? I did not found anything interesting after looking at /proc but maybe there is a preproc to activate or some tricks like this?
