Re: Snort Statistics on Shutdown

Hi Bill,

I just checked the code and the DropStats() function is calling LogMessage() to output its info so they should be somewhere in your syslog files. You aren't reading a pcap file in daemon mode, are you?

Ok, now that I have the pig at version 2.1.3, I was curious about another thing.  I run snort in daemon mode and start/stop it with the init script provided (no problems at all), but I was under the impression that snort when it shuts down, should generate some stats as to how many packets were processed, etc.  I see the snort startup in /var/log/messages, should I not see stuff in there when it shuts down?
