Hi James, I didn't put the whole path for the file name in the output lines of snort.conf (my mistake). Now, the output lines look like the following: output unified2: filename /var/log/snort/snort.u2, limit 128 output alert_fast: /var/log/snort/snort.fast Then i tried the same simple test using ping, tracert and nmap attack. Now the snort.fast, barnyard2.waldo and snort.u2 contain some fixed size bytes which doesn't grow although i repeated the test attack many times. Is there something that I am missing? I really appreciate for the help. On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 8:16 PM, Lay, James <james.lay () wincofoods com>wrote:

I am running Snort 2.9.2.2 on Ubuntu virtual machine by following the guide at the Snort page. I have barnyard2 installed to send output to Mysql....unified2 output is configured on snort.conf. I started snort with a command sudo /usr/local/snort/bin/snort -u snort -g snort -c /usr/local/snort/etc/snort.conf -i eth0 I started barnyard2 with the command sudo sudo /usr/local/bin/barnyard2 -c /usr/local/snort/etc/barnyard2.conf -d /var/log/snort -f snort.u2 -w /var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo The output of barnyard command is OK but shows, WARNING: Ignoring corrupt/truncated waldofile. For a simple test i did nmap attack,Snort creates the log files in /var/log/snort but the size is always empty. i can see the output on the console though. I have tried to research and apply almost all the advice on similar issue in this mailing list but none of them helped me. Could you please help me? thanks Yonas, What are your output lines in your snort.conf? Something like the below? output alert_fast: /var/log/snort.fast output unified2: filename /var/log/snort.u2 If not, for testing, try adding the alert_fast to see what happens there. Also, try the command u2spewfoo on your snort.u2 file and see what that shows. James
