Glad you got something working, though it is a step backwards. Snort++ can do all that Snort 2.X can do and more, and with better performance. The unified2x logger is there if you should decide to upgrade at some point.

Russ,

There is another way to "get me back to where I was." Since the Snort group had the foresight to install Snort3 with an entirely different directory path than Snort2, I installed the rest of Snort2 (some of it was already there) in the old path. I had to touch up some of the config files but that allowed me to regress to Snort 2.9.9.0 with little pain. I've had Snort2 humming along nicely for the last several days. I'm using Barnyard2, Pulledpork, Apache2 and BASE for the rest of my installation.

Thanks for your help.

Not aware of any barnyard2 alternatives. Maybe Joel has some suggestions.

Since I haven't heard anything from the barnyard2 groups, I've resurrected the old unified2 logger as unified2x in the extras. You will need to build and install the extras and use --plugin-path to point to the installed plugins and then add unified2x = { } (or however you configure it) to your snort.lua. The existing unified2 logger will only generate newer events so you must use unified2x instead. That should get you back to where you were.

I forgot to ask; Is there a viable alternative to Barnyard2? What do you suggest?

Snort++ has new record types for u2 output and no longer outputs the legacy types. I've contacted the barnyard2 folks to work with them on updates.

How are you using barnyard2?  Are you feeding a database?
