FW: remote tcpdump output & analysis (database)

["McCash, John" <John.McCash () andrew com>]

> Hi Everyone,
>       I've got a question which might be related to the recent postings about remote tcpdump logging. I'm currently 
> doing remote logging to a mysql database, and have come across an issue with ACIDs analysis capabilities for this 
> data. I have a few hosts with messed up Compaq Insight management agents, and they put traffic on the wire with a 
> from address of 127.0.0.1. From inside ACID, you can't tell where it's coming from. What I'm having to do is go to 
> the sensor, pull the tcpdump logfile, and run ethereal on it to get the source MAC address, then go hunt that up in 
> the switch databases. I believe, however, that the full packet data is stored in the mysql database. Does anyone know 
> whether this is true, and if a quick hack to ACID might enable display of it? If that's too big a deal, might there 
> be a quick and easy way to dump the binary packet info from the database to a file without going to the remote 
> sensor? Then I could just run ethereal on that...
>               Thanks in advance
