Thanks Joel. Our output method from Snort to database is with mysql. So i'm not sure if Sid-msg.map file may be present.

As long as you are using the correct Sid-msg.map file for your rules, there shouldn't be a problem.

Hi,




We run Snort as an IDS with one centralized reporting server that is used to push the VRT updates to multiple sensors 
sitting in promiscuous mode. All the servers including the reporting server and sensors run with very old versions of 
Snort - 2.9.0.3 on RHEL
 5.3. Needless to say the Rules also haven't been updated for a long time. 





Now if we were to upgrade some sensors to RHEL 7.2 with Snort 2.9.8.3, what issues will we be looking at w.r.t- VRT 
updates and conflict with the central reporting server (Snort - 2.9.0.3 on RHEL 5.3).




Will the Central reporting server still be able to download new rules(seeing that VRT updates have been EOL for 
2.9.0.3)?







Thanks much




Pratibha
