Re: Event_filter and suppression on same rule valid?

Grrrr.. scratch that.... the ACTUAL ORDER IS:

suppress gen_id 122, sig_id 3, track by_src, ip [list of IP's here]
event_filter gen_id 122, sig_id 3, type limit, track by_src, count 2,
seconds 180

So the suppression is in the threshold.conf file first, followed by the
event_filter.

Sorry for the multiple messages.

A correction, the order of the entries is:
event_filter gen_id 122, sig_id 3, type limit, track by_src, count 2,
seconds 180
suppress gen_id 122, sig_id 3, track by_src, ip [list of IP's here]

So the event_filter is in the threshold.conf file first, followed by the
suppression.

Running snort 2.9.3.1

We have two entries in the threshold.conf file:

event_filter gen_id 122, sig_id 3, type limit, track by_src, count 2,
seconds 180
suppress gen_id 122, sig_id 3, track by_src, ip [list of IP's here]

The suppression seems to be working fine, but the event_filter isn't. 

We want to suppress the 122:3 alerts from a specifc set of IP's, but just
want to limit the number of alerts from everyone else and we are seeing more
than 2 alerts in a 3 minute timeframe for those IP's not suppressed.

Should this work???

Thanks
Mark
