What do you currently do when only one of your instances dies?

You'll either want to create 2 unique instances, complete with
different snort.conf's as above, or use afpacket to run one instance of
snort listening to two interfaces..which I do like so:
/opt/bin/snort --daq afpacket --daq-mode passive -i eth0:eth1 -D -k
none -c /opt/etc/snort/snort.conf

Hello


Before snort 2.9.9.0 I have one syslog messages "Commencing packet
processing" per interface

 In my case two .

snort[6348]: Commencing packet processing (pid=6348)

snort[6901]: Commencing packet processing (pid=6901)



Since snort 2.9.9.0 I have only syslog message for the first interface
with correct PID , I see with audit.log the second PID but no syslog
message.

The second process for the second interface is like mute.

snort[27616]: Commencing packet processing (pid=27616)



and from audit.log =

type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1488409331.365:382058): arch=c000003e syscall=54
success=yes exit=0 a0=7 a1=107 a2=1 a3=7ffc9b53ea40 items=0 ppid=1
pid=27857 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0
fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="snort" exe="/usr/sbin/snort-plain"
subj=system_u:system_r:snort_t:s0 key=(null)



Snort seems good to work :

       Active: active (running) since Thu 2017-03-02 00:02:11 CET; 11h ago

         Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

      Process: 27529 ExecStop=/etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd stop (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)

      Process: 27547 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd start
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

       CGroup: /system.slice/snortd.service

               |-27616 /usr/sbin/snort -A fast -b -d -D -i ens256 -u snort
-g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/ens256

               `-27857 /usr/sbin/snort -A fast -b -d -D -i ens161 -u snort
-g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/ens161



But I need messages of syslog for the monitoring.





Anybody has the same problem or the solution?
