I've just put some more memory in our snort box, so I thought I'd try enabling spade & stream4 as well as upgrade to 1.8.1 My question is. How can I tell if it is doing anything. It dosn't look like it is working, there are no output files anywhere, but I don't know if it creates them as soon as it starts (like snort logging) or just when it needs them. Here's the relavent bits from the conf file. var SPADEDIR /var/log/spade. # preprocessor spade: -1 $SPADEDIR/spade.rcv $SPADEDIR/log.txt 3 50000 I've tried sending snort SIGUSR1 which the docs say should make spade do a checkpoint, but nothing appears in the /var/log/spade directory. Snort is compiled from source. There are no warnings in the startup log. **************************************************************************************** This message and any attachments are confidential to the ordinary user of the e-mail address to which it was addressed and may also be privileged.
