Snort isn't logging to snort.log but is to snort.alert

Last night I upgraded snort from 2.8.4 to 2.8.5.3. In the process of going over everything, I noticed that I had never uncommented the "output database" line. I added a line to the "preprocessor frag3_engine" to eliminate some noisy alerts and a couple lines to threshold.conf. Up to this point, snort was logging OK. Now, snort only is logging to the snort.alert.### file but not the snort.log.### file. I don't see any problems in the /var/log/messages file, and I'm not really sure how to figure out what's wrong. I'd be very grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have another question about barnyard, which is also installed. Does the "output database" have to be uncommented in the snort configuration given I'm running barnyard? From reading the documentation, I believe barnyard is duplicating entering the data into mysql; however, I configured this based on some how-to's for installing snort and barnyard. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
