Re: Timestamp Format in alert_fast Mode

Doh! Thanks. I was looking for a config option not a commandline switch.
Much appreciated!

Did you try snort -y?

Hello all,

Is there an option within Snort to change the format of the alert_fast
output type? The current output format is MONTH/DAY-HOUR:MIN:SEC.MILIIS as I
assume everyone knows. However we're loading this alert format into Splunk
for data visualization and searching and something about this timestamp
format triggers a bug in Splunk that causes Snort log traffic not to be
indexed. I realize this is a Splunk issue and not a Snort issue in and of
itself. However is there a reasonable, possibly undocumented, mechanism to
change the alert timestamp format - at minimum to include a year field?
