Re: snort - unified2 formart

[Michael Mittentag <michael.mittentag () gmail com>]

Great I tried that and it worked!


What I did was comment out the following in /etc/sysconfig/snort:

#ALERTMODE=fast
#BINARY_LOG=1

now when I start snort using /etc/init.d/snortd it runs the following
instead:

/usr/sbin/snort -d -D -i eth0 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l
/var/log/snort


and now I am seeing the snort.u2 and it is sending over to the DB

Thanks again for all your help!
