Hello, On page 12 of the PDF format of the “Snort 2.9.7 Manual) [1], it notes that the mapping for GID’s (Generator ID’s), can be found in: "For a list of GIDs, please read etc/generators in the Snort source. In this case, we know that this event came from the “decode” (116) component of Snort.”From the source tar ball, I can see the etc subdirectory:~/snort_src/snort-2.9.7.0/etc In there I can see “gen-map.msg”: -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 31K Sep 16 14:24 gen-msg.map Inside this file I can see a mapping to “decode” for GID 116 (as referenced in the first quote from the manual), so is this the file that the GID mappings are in now, *NOT* generators, or am I still looking in the wrong place ?# In general, the generators.h is the header defining the GID and SID of Snort components. Each component (GID) is capable of generating various outputs (SID). I would use the gen-msg.map to lookup mappingsIf so, am I correct interpreting that a GID of 1 means the generator was “snort general rule” which matches up to a custom rule I wrote ?# GID 1 refers to textual rules, including the rules that ship from VRT and your custom textual rules.Thanks [1] See: https://s3.amazonaws.com/snort-org-site/production/document_files/files/000/000/051/original/snort_manual.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIXACIED2SPMSC7GA&Expires=1425073972&Signature=9uEeOQH3nRJTwXr6c7XxK%2F%2FWqAU%3D
