Re: Snort Mysql Acid Combo

[Mark Fagan <r00t () online ie>]

Is /var/log/snort populated with logs ?

If so you probable dont have the correct entry in your snort.conf:

It should be along the lines of:

output database: log, mysql, sensor_name=mysensor user=snortuser 
password=snortpassword dbname=snort host=dbhost

Also in the event you have a DB authentication issue open two ssh sessions, one 
tailing the /var/log/messages file:

tail -f /var/log/messages

And one restarting snort:

/etc/init.d/snort restart

If you get a success message you probably dont have the correct output database 
statement.

Hope this helps.

Mark
