https://github.com/vrtadmin/snort-faq <— the official Snort FAQ, which I keep updated. But the answer to your question is yes. -- Joel Esler Open Source Manager Threat Intelligence Team Lead Vulnerability Research Team On Mar 27, 2014, at 12:54 PM, Balasubramaniam Natarajan <bala150985 () gmail com<mailto:bala150985 () gmail com>> wrote: HI Could some one please explain the difference between max_queue and log ? I don't understand what is ment by "only 8 events will be stored for a single packet or stream". So if we have 8 defined for max_queue and 3 for log would that mean snort will log just 3 out of the 8 events which got triggered for that packet/stream ? https://github.com/jasonish/snort/blob/master/doc/README.event_queue max_queue ---------- This determines the maximum size of the event queue. For example, if the event queue has a max size of 8, only 8 events will be stored for a single packet or stream. The default value is 8. log --- This determines the number of events to log for a given packet or stream. You can't log more than the max_event number that was specified. The default value is 3. -- Regards, Balasubramaniam Natarajan www.blog.etutorshop.com<http://www.blog.etutorshop.com/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net<mailto:Snort-users () lists sourceforge net> Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=snort-users Please visit http://blog.snort.org to stay current on all the latest Snort news!
