Re: Can't read data_log output file (empty)

data_log was updated a few days ago to work with the new http_inspect.

We will get you something for flow events.

I'll be waiting for the update.

I'm also trying to add end-of-flow events, is there any specific file I could look up to use as a model? I've already set a passive Inspector to listen to a certain event, but I'm not sure where I should setup the module responsible for publishing this end-of-flow event.

    http_server (the old one) was deleted so you should stick with the
    http_inspect (the new one).  Unfortunately, data_log now needs an
    update.  We will get you something soon.

    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to better understand how to handle events inside
    Snort++ using data_log inspector as example. But at the moment, I
    can't really read the output file because it's always empty for me.

    Until now, I did the following changes to snort.lua:

    - Added a new line "data_log = { key = 'http_raw_uri' }
    - Changed the "http_inspector = { }" to "http_server = { }"
    (As recommended here:
    http://marc.info/?l=snort-users&m=147422221322032&w=2
    <http://marc.info/?l=snort-users&m=147422221322032&w=2>)

    And ran the command:

    "sudo snort -c /opt/snort/etc/snort/snort.lua -R
    /opt/snort/etc/snort/samples.rules -r http.cap -A alert_ex
    --plugin-path /opt/snort/lib/snort_extra"

    The http.cap I'm using is the one located at
    https://wiki.wireshark.org/SampleCaptures
    <https://wiki.wireshark.org/SampleCaptures>

    What am I missing here?

    Thanks in advance,
    Ronin.
