Re: Send snort alerts via syslog to ArcSight

Thanks for your answer.

Barnyard is sending all the parameters, the problem is that ArcSight don't recognize it as Snort Events. I mean the problem is the following:

 * Vía Snort i can't send any event via syslog. I do the folowing steps:
     o Locate and open the main Snort configuration file to edit:
       <Snort_home>/etc/snort.conf
     o Locate the # syslog section.
     o In the following line, replace <hostipaddress> with your own
       host IP address:
       output alert_syslog: host=<hostipaddress>:514, LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
       where <hostipaddress> is the IP address of your syslog host.
     o Start Snort with the -s option; for example:
       C:\Snort>bin\snort -c etc\snort.conf -s

 * On the other hand I try send events using barynard succesfully but
   the format of the events is not recognized by ArcSight. The format
   send from barnyard is as follows:
     o Sep 25 16:59:09 130.2.17.46 [1:2003195:5] ET POLICY Unusual
       number of DNS No Such Name Responses [Classification:
       Potentially Bad Traffic] [Priority: 2]: {UDP} 130.2.18.110:53 ->
       130.10.0.64:48640

Thanks.

Regards

Hi everyone.

I need to send snort alert to ArcSight via syslog, i found a
configuration just changing one line in the snort.conf but it doesn't
work. I already try sending events with other application and with
barnyard and work, but i need to send from snort directly because that's
the only way to send all the parameters correctly. I'm using snort 2.9.3.1.
All parameters?
I am interested to see which parameters are missing in barnyard2
v2-1.10 syslog_full output module?
