Hi Al,

Just read again barnyard2 configuration file's comments: look like
barnyard2 supports only u2 files. The issue on my side looks like that no
u2 files were generated but only log files were generated. I reinstalled
barnyard2. Now both u2 and log files were generated.

Thanks again!

Paul

Thanks Al for the hints. Much appreciated.  After Snort read a file, all
the alerts are in a snort.log.xxxxx file. I tried to set up barnyard2 read
snort.log as the base from the command line as the following:

sudo barnyard2 -c /etc/snort/barnyard2.conf -d /var/log/snort -f
snort.log -w /var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo -g snort-user -u snort-pass

But looks like barnyard2 is still reading the snort.u2 base file. here's
c&p the messages from the console:

------console output-----

Using waldo file '/var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo':

    spool directory = /var/log/snort

    spool filebase  = snort.u2

    time_stamp      = 1486185613

    record_idx      = 0

Opened spool file '/var/log/snort/snort.u2.1486185613'

....

------console output end-----

Tried to edit barnyard2.waldo, but looks like it's a binary file. Is
there a way to make barnyard2 read snort.log.xxxxx instead of
snort.u2.xxxxx?


Thanks,

Paul

Subject: [Snort-users] Load alerts read from file to database

I'm using Snort to read a file and Snort generates alerts. But when
tried using Barnyard2 load these alerts to database, no alerts were loaded.
Is there any configuration I should change to make it work, or Barnyard2
doesn't support loading alerts from files?

(When Snort generates alerts from monitoring a networking interface,
Barnyard successfully loaded alerts to the database.)

Thanks,
Paul
