Re: Snort and multiple logging

Hi all,

But I needed to generate file logs in order to OSSEC to be configured to
read it and doing active responses... (OSSEC AFAIK doesn't read from
mysql) and wanted to have a web gui for real time monitoring status of
intrusion activity and so... those banyard2 files are able to be read by
ossec? or could I say to barnyard2 to send to one remote syslog server the
logs (for ossec to be able to read them) and too... to a mysql server for
base to read them and display moment statistics??

thanks a lot for all you're help.
bye!!


Egoitz,

1. I would strongly recommend using Barnyard2 for your output processing
if
you are not already. There are several how-to documents available on
setting
this up on http://www.snort.org/docs/setup-guides/; pick the paper that
best
matches your OS or flavor of Linux. Each Snort instance can be set up to
send its output to a remote syslog server and MySQL database via Barnyard
simultaneously.

2. I would also strongly recommend using BASE instead of ACID. ACID is no
longer being maintained.

Happy Snorting!

Nick

Hello all,

I would like to know if I can configure snort to output logs to a remote
syslog and simultaneously to a mysql database. The reason of doing this
this way is for using ACID (that reads from mysql and works in realtime)
and for ossec active responses wich requires logs to be in a log file...
So like I plan to have several snort servers for sharing the load (each
snort scanning each switch traffic) I'm planning to log all snort
servers
to a remote syslog (whose file is going to be scanned constantly by
ossec
and executing active responses) and simutaneously to mysql in order to
acid to be able to display ids collected data in realtime.


Could be this possible mates?? to log simultaneously to remote syslog
and
to mysql??... or is it any other advisable way of achieving this goal??.

Thanks a lot.
Bye!
