I am having recurring failures of Barnyard2 to write to the SQL database.
I am running Snort 2.9.9.0 on a Ubuntu 17.04 computer in inline mode. I
modify the rules file /etc/snort/rules/snortd.rules to block packets rather
than alert on them.

Each time the failure occurrs, the /var/log/snort/snort.u2... file
contains the same records at the beginning. I will add the beginning of the
u2 file below.  Further down in the u2 file (below) it mentions a
Silverlight update but the GID and SID don't match the ones in the u2 file.-

Snort continues to run and write to the u2 file but since Barnyard2 is in
a failed state I get nothing from Base.

========================================================

My command line for Snort is: /usr/local/bin/snort -Q -q -u snort -g snort
-c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i enp1s0:enp4s0

My command line for Barnyard2 is: /usr/local/bin/barnyard2 -c
/etc/snort/barnyard2.conf -d /var/log/snort -f snort.u2 -q -w
/var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo -a /var/log/snort/archived_logs/ -u root -g
snort

When I query the status of Barnyard2 after a failure I get:

● barnyard2.service - Barnyard2 Daemon

since mysql claims it's duplicate maybe you can examine the contents of the
tables to see what 69943 corresponds to?
Other people reported that problem
https://github.com/firnsy/barnyard2/issues/208 but since barnyard is dead
probably nobody will answer.
I imagine mysql will start fine from that state, maybe you just need to
modify the systemd service file to restart the failed mysql automatically
and setup a monitoring system so you know how often this happens:
[Service]
Restart=on-failure

But really, look for a modern log analysis system and try
https://github.com/jasonish/evebox
Hopefully is not too late for evebox to support snort.

By the way is snort 2.9 able to log into json directly?

I have scanned the rules file (/etc/snort/rules/snortd.rules) and don't
find any occurrences of "152087" or "69943".
