Good morning,

I upgraded barnyard2 earlier this week to the 1.10 final from beta2
(thank you, elz!) and realized that some of my by2 processes had died.
 Looking in the logs, I see these from the MySQL output plugin for my
Snorby instance:

Re-Hoi Miguel,

Was this message taken from the system syslog?
And did you have previous message that would complement the following?

We added some verbosity and i find it curious that there is no
companion message. (failed execution path)



Sep 29 03:27:49 nids12 barnyard2[18511]: FATAL ERROR: database
mysql_error: Duplicate entry '16-78634' for key 'PRIMARY'


Yes, that's the complete message, there is no table name given in the log.


When you updated did you clean your reference and sig_reference table?

How many sensor do you have?
Are you sure that if you have N sensor that they all have their unique
config and that they would not overlap using
the same sensor id?


I tried removing all existing logs files in case waldo was getting
lost and trying to re-insert already sent records but that didn't seem
to be it.  What can I do to resolve this problem?

How you by2 config file look like?

config utc
config reference_file:      /etc/snort/reference.config
config classification_file: /etc/snort/classification.config
config gen_file:            /etc/snort/gen-msg.map
config sid_file:            /etc/snort/sid-msg.map
config daemon
config set_gid: 500
config set_uid: 500
config umask: 066
config verbose
config reference_net: 10.0.0.0/8
input unified2
output alert_fast: alert
output database: log, mysql, user=x password=x dbname=x host=x.x.x.x
sensor_name=x


On a side note,

If you have output database and you run in daemonized mode, you might
want to remove output alert_fast since it would be
working for nothing, not that this has something to do with with the issue.
