Thanks Waldo, yes they are pcaps (to be specific). The odd thing is I'm running 8 snort processes. (in a test environment) /usr/sbin/snort -A fast -U -b -d -e -D -i dag0:0 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort /usr/sbin/snort -A fast -U -b -d -e -D -i dag0:2 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort /usr/sbin/snort -A fast -U -b -d -e -D -i dag0:4 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort etc... up to dag0:14. Based on your comment, there should be 8 log (pcap) files but there is not The question I'm trying to answer is why are there 2 or sometimes 3 pcap files? Also...only one of the pcap files collects data, the others are empty.
timing, man... timing... those numbers? they're a unix timestamp, IIRC ;) what has probably happened is that more than one instance has created/attached to the same pcap file at the same time... you need to have each one using its own logging directory OR you need to figure out how to have each one use its own ID (that you have assigned when starting each instance) as part of the log file names it creates... not just these pcap files but any other log files, too... eg: snort-01.log.1420562102 snort-02.log.1420562102 snort-04.log.1420562102 snort-06.log.1420562102 snort-10.log.1420562102 snort-14.log.1420562102 snort-20.log.1420562102 -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval.
