Hi, First thing I would recommend is to make sure there is traffic reaching your sniffing port. Run TCPDUMP on this interface to make sure there is traffic for Snort to work on. Next run Snort and have it display the alerts to the screen so you can see if it is actually alerting. (Check the manual for the settings required to do this.) If Snort is generating alerts check to see if you have all your database info setup properly with passwords and privileges. If your database is setup properly, run TCPDUMP on the database listener interface to see if your Snort Sensor is trying to connect to it. Check these things first and correct any problems. If this is all working and you are still having issues post up your config files for a look see. Whenever there is a problem you should always start at the beginning where a packet arrives and work your way logically through the system at each stage to see if the information is getting passed on.

Scott. I have gone through as per steps mentioned on the document and everything is working fine, but at my "alert console" there is no traffic/alert detection. Even the TCP, UDP & ICMP traffic is also 0%. I have explored on the database there is no event on the event tables and 1 sensor created on the sensor table. I have installed one another snortcenter agent on other machine and configured the sensor for it in management console. This sensor is also not in my sensor table. My sensor & snort daemon are running properly. The snort database user have enough permission on the db. Please suggest me how can I resolve this problem.
