I have just upgraded my snort binary to 2.4.4, which is logging to a
remote
Mysql Database. For patching reasons, the Mysql host is being rebooted every week and
before
the upgrade the snort binary would re-conenct to the DB without any problems, once the box was back up and running.
probably you changed the version of the MySQL database. The old behaviour (MySQL 4.x) did automatically a reconnect whereas this is disabled with the newer versions. But just for this reason I would choose another way to insert the alerts in the database, there are several solutions available and you will not loose any alert during the database is rebooted. (And it is even better for the performance, the database access via the output plugin slows down snort and you may miss some packets...) Best regards Dirk Geschke BTW: Are you living in world far away? Or why shows the email a date of Thu, 20 Apr 2006 07:37:20 +0100 and the email arrives here at a date of Wed, 10 May 2006 23:44:00 +0200?
