Re: Usage stats.

["Matthew Collins" <Matthew.Collins () northernregistrars co uk>]

The output from kill will not be the snort stats. The snort stats will be dumped on whatever console you started snort 
from. I use snort in daemon mode, and the stats are dumped into daemon.log by syslog.

Try this.

run snort on 1 console (without the -D option)
switch to another console
kill -USR1 [snort pid]
switch back to snort console, you will see the usage stats.

The only issue then, is where the stats go when you use the -D option.

Ah, yes, *that* was the issue...

In fact, when I do any of:

ps ax | grep blahblahblah

and then kill -USR1 [snort pid]...

or

skill -USR1 [snort pid]...

or even

kill -USR1 [snort pid] > /dev/console

none of it works as suggested by man snort.


This is with snort-1.8.1-RELEASE...


Methinks something's broke..?
