Any help in having it show the message field instead would be helpful. Not
sure why it's doing that.

Are you sure that you are referring to the correct snort.conf?

We need more information.

Hi,

Snort: 2.9.9.0
OS: Centos 7

Recently Snort started to use a lot of memory, and it is constantly on
29-30% of usage, it did not happen before (even when Snort was using more
memory at the beginning - it went down after an hour or two), the only
change to the server was a Centos upgrade

I put the memcap in the snort.conf ?> stream5: global and restarted snort,
but the memory usage did not go down. It is as Snort is ignoring the config

Any help with this?

I am using snort to detect some bad traffic in our system, however, I need
to add more information to the logged alerts such as to which tenant the
attacker's ip address belongs, the network id? Assuming I have multiple
tenant however all private ips are duplicated over tenants, so it is not
possible to tell which node cause the attack, so I am thinking to include
the tenant id, network id which are unique to each tenant and then attach
the private ip of attacker to the proper tenant. Current snort alerts will
not provide these information, any help will be appreciated!


Can I modify snort.conf for this
