First of all, the acid/base tables are "recreations" of what's in the snort db, so you can drop them at any time, and BASE will recreate the data in them.I am running base "1.2.2 (cindy)" I want to start fresh without having to recreate the tables. Is there a script that will purge the relevant tables? Doing an ls -last *.MYD 4543712 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 4650467248 Jul 17 17:25 data.MYD 1386304 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1418840624 Jul 14 16:20 acid_event.MYD 301792 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 308848764 Jul 14 16:19 event.MYD 459856 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 470626688 Jul 14 16:19 iphdr.MYD 21280 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 21759711 Jul 14 16:19 udphdr.MYD 175088 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 179167726 Jul 14 01:08 icmphdr.MYD 84208 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 86161620 Jul 13 21:44 tcphdr.MYD 14608 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 14930292 Jul 13 21:43 opt.MYD 16 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 15448 Jul 12 11:20 signature.MYD 8 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 6929 Jul 4 22:57 sig_reference.MYD 12 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 11088 Jul 4 22:56 reference.MYD 2 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 556 Jun 5 18:59 sig_class.MYD 2 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 160 Apr 21 12:29 reference_system.MYD 6 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 4836 Apr 18 18:30 acid_ip_cache.MYD 2 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 84 Mar 2 2006 sensor.MYD 0 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 0 Mar 2 2006 acid_ag.MYD 0 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 0 Mar 2 2006 acid_ag_alert.MYD 0 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 0 Mar 2 2006 base_roles.MYD 0 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 0 Mar 2 2006 base_users.MYD 2 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 40 Mar 2 2006 detail.MYD 2 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 60 Mar 2 2006 encoding.MYD 2 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 13 Mar 2 2006 schema.MYD So my guess is that I can run echo "TRUNCATE TABLE data; " | mysql -u need_help -p now echo "TRUNCATE TABLE acid_event ; " | mysql -u need_help -p now echo "TRUNCATE TABLE event; " | mysql -u need_help -p now echo "TRUNCATE TABLE iphdr; " | mysql -u need_help -p now echo "TRUNCATE TABLE udphdr; " | mysql -u need_help -p now echo "TRUNCATE TABLE icmphdr; " | mysql -u need_help -p now echo "TRUNCATE TABLE tcphdr; " | mysql -u need_help -p now echo "TRUNCATE TABLE opt; " | mysql -u need_help -p now And restart the sensors. Is there anything else that I need to do?
Secondly, I would be careful about using TRUNCATE. I'd use DELETE FROM TABLE 'tablename' instead. TRUNCATE is not transaction-safe. (However, TRUNCATE is mapped to DELETE FROM prior to mysql 5.0.3, so there's no difference between the two in earlier versions.)
Finally, if you just want to keep a certain number of days in the database (rather than deleting everything) in order to keep its size down to a workable level, you may want to try my archvie script: http://www.ntsug.org/downloads.html
