RE: MySQL Disconnects/Mudpit

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

Adam,

I’m not sure if it will help but I have a guide for Solaris on my website.
It is in BETA at this time looking for people interested in making sure the
bugs are worked out :)

Cheers...

I'm trying out mudpit but I use Solaris 8 and I've run into several errors
compiling.  ./configure is OK but make results in these errors:

You can solve this problem by logging to unified log format files on the 
local sensor, then use mudpit or something to parse the files and insert 
into your MySQL database.  If the database is unavailable, mudpit will 
just keep its place in the log file and keep trying to connect to the 
MySQL server.
