Re: Snort Ignores Filenames for alert_unified and log_unified?

[Eoin Miller <eoin.miller () trojanedbinaries com>]

Figured it out,  the Snort Users Manual PDF includes incorrect examples 
under section 2.68 - Unified:

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

What you actually need to have is:

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

Then Snort will create the filenames as you want them. The unified2 
section has correct examples.
