Here is a difference I found in "config order" between version 2.8.3 and 2.9.2.3 - Before upgrade: May 18 07:27:55 dc1infra01 snort[12293]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] Rule application order: activation->dynamic->pass->drop->alert->log After upgrade: May 27 00:10:38 dc1infra01 snort[7021]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] Rule application order: activation->dynamic->pass->drop->sdrop->reject->alert->log It seems that if snort doesn't have any "alert" it would get dropped by "reject" and hence not get logged. I tried to change config order to the way it was before - config order: activation dynamic pass drop alert log in snort.conf but the change did not take effect. --Naresh From: Naresh Narang [mailto:nnarang () guardiananalytics com] Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2012 9:17 AM To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: [Snort-users] Snort 2.9.2.3 not logging Hi all, I compiled latest version of Snort 2.9.2.3 with all the related software (daq etc.) on Solaris X86. Its running fine with no errors but is not logging anything to files. Files get created with epoch time stamp but stay at 0 bytes. Any ideas? If I run from command line, with -L option, I can log to files just fine. Snort.conf is same as it was before from ver 2.8.3, which was logging fine. $ snort -V ,,_ -*> Snort! <*- o" )~ Version 2.9.2.3 IPv6 GRE (Build 205) '''' By Martin Roesch & The Snort Team: http://www.snort.org/snort/snort-team Copyright (C) 1998-2012 Sourcefire, Inc., et al.
