Thanks for any assistance. I'm runnig snort 2.9.6.2 and using an Emulex DAG card as the monitor interface. I'm running 8 snort processes in a balanced stream configuration. After starting snort, I notice that some times it creates 2 or even 3 log files in /var/log/snort. I'm wondering why it creates 2 or 3 and not just 1. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Jan 6 11:35 alert -rw-------. 1 root root 0 Jan 6 11:35 snort.log.1420562102 -rw-------. 1 root root 0 Jan 6 11:35 snort.log.1420562103
those are pcap files... there should be one for each process... they will contain the packet data that triggered the alerts snort raised... each process should have unique names for these and similar output files they write... -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval.
