Re: Snort Reporting and logs

["Atkins, Dwane P" <ATKINSD () uthscsa edu>]

It shows it trying to load?  I am guessing this is what the “?” in the PID means?

Are you sure Snort is still running, and on the correct interface?

Snort 2.9.0.3 has been installed on a PowerEdge 2850.  I have a pretty decent hard drive on it and more if I need to do 
LVM.  However, when I try to use the http://snortbox/snortreport-1.3.1/alerts.php, it will not view.  So I look to see 
if I am actually logging packets and I go to /var/log/snort and I see the barnyard2.waldo has not been updated in 
almost 17 hours and that snort.u2.12$$$$$$  has not been up dates sfor 17 hours either.  This is the busiest Vlan on 
campus and I am sure will always be updated.

My questions are,


1.)     How do I ensure that the logging continues?  What does it stop like that? And---

2.)    Is there a reporting tool that is more reliable for me than SnortReports and if so, what do you all recommedn 
and is tehre install instructions for both installation and extrapulating the proper traffic from the Snort Sensors.?

Thanks
