Re: Barnyard not inserting into acid_*

You only need log_acid_db, since alert_acid_db will only duplicate the
entries...  But that's not the root of your issue.

Do you have the snort database and tables created in the database? 
Can you connect to the database with mysql client with the root user
and manipulate the tables?  Enable error logging on the mysql server
and see what barnyard is trying to do.

Hi,

I've got Snort, Mysql, Acid and Barnyard installed and running OK on
FreeBSD with one small hitch.
So far I'm unable to get Barnyard to insert into any of the 4 acid_* tables.

I can't see where I'm going wrong and have been trying on and off for a
couple days so I though I'd ask.

After running the commands:

/usr/local/barnyard/bin/barnyard -c /usr/local/snort/etc/barnyard.conf
-o /var/log/snort/snort.alert.1087948218
/usr/local/barnyard/bin/barnyard -c /usr/local/snort/etc/barnyard.conf
-o /var/log/snort/snort.log.1087948218

The binary log files are processed without error but no data is inserted
into the acid tables, only the standard snort tables.

I have this in my snort.conf:

output alert_unified: filename snort.alert, limit 128
output log_unified: filename snort.log, limit 128

and this in my barnyard.conf:

output alert_acid_db: mysql, sensor_id 1, database snort, server
localhost, user root, password xxxxx, detail full
output log_acid_db: mysql, sensor_id 1, database snort, server
localhost, user root, password xxxxx, detail full

Can you see where I may be going wrong and how I may fix it ??

Many thanks
Kind regards
Rudi.
