Re: Performance Monitor

[Juan Jesus Prieto <jjprieto () redborder org>]

You need to execute snort instances with different options from command 
line. For example, we execute several instances of snort with same 
snort.conf and different unified2 and perfmonitor stats files:

# snort -q -D -e --pid-path /var/run -i eth2:eth3,eth4:eth5 -c /etc/snort/0/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/0/instance-0 \
    --perfmon-file /var/log/snort/0/instance-0/stats/snort.stats -G 0 --daq-dir /lib/daq/ --daq pfring --daq-var 
bindcpu=0 \
    --daq-mode inline --daq-var fast-tx=1 --enable-inline-test -G 0 --daq-var watermark=64 --daq-var timeout=1 
--daq-var clusterid=10,11,12,13 \
    --cs-dir /etc/snort/0/cs/instance-0 -R _0-0 --treat-drop-as-alert
# snort -q -D -e --pid-path /var/run -i eth2:eth3,eth4:eth5 -c /etc/snort/0/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/0/instance-1 \
    --perfmon-file /var/log/snort/0/instance-1/stats/snort.stats -G 1 --daq-dir /lib/daq/ --daq pfring --daq-var 
bindcpu=1 \
    --daq-mode inline --daq-var fast-tx=1 --enable-inline-test -G 1 --daq-var watermark=64 --daq-var timeout=1 
--daq-var clusterid=10,11,12,13 \
    --cs-dir /etc/snort/0/cs/instance-1 -R _0-1 --treat-drop-as-alert
# snort -q -D -e --pid-path /var/run -i eth2:eth3,eth4:eth5 -c /etc/snort/0/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/0/instance-2 \
    --perfmon-file /var/log/snort/0/instance-2/stats/snort.stats -G 2 --daq-dir /lib/daq/ --daq pfring --daq-var 
bindcpu=2 \
    --daq-mode inline --daq-var fast-tx=1 --enable-inline-test -G 2 --daq-var watermark=64 --daq-var timeout=1 
--daq-var clusterid=10,11,12,13 \
    --cs-dir /etc/snort/0/cs/instance-2 -R _0-2 --treat-drop-as-alert
# snort -q -D -e --pid-path /var/run -i eth2:eth3,eth4:eth5 -c /etc/snort/0/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/0/instance-3 \
    --perfmon-file /var/log/snort/0/instance-3/stats/snort.stats -G 3 --daq-dir /lib/daq/ --daq pfring --daq-var 
bindcpu=3 \
    --daq-mode inline --daq-var fast-tx=1 --enable-inline-test -G 3 --daq-var watermark=64 --daq-var timeout=1 
--daq-var clusterid=10,11,12,13 \
    --cs-dir /etc/snort/0/cs/instance-3 -R _0-3 --treat-drop-as-alert

To do this, you will need a modified init script. This "instances group" 
has id '0' (/opt/rb/etc/snort/0/snort.conf). The config file is the same 
for all instances. Change direstories and other files to your own context.

Regards.
