RE: snort wont log to mysql database

["Semerjian, Ohanes" <Semerjian.Ohanes () wcom com au>]

from what u said it looks u have everything working okay, just check the
home_net, external_net and also try to port scan using nmap rather only
ping.

One more thing is that in snort.conf u mentioned about the mysql, to make
sure uncomment both lines to log event and also the alerts. Other than these
to check u seams to have things working just need to be tuned.

output database: log, mysql, user=root password=password dbname=db_name
host=localhost
output database: alert, mysql, user=root password=password dbname=db_name
host=localhost

Subject: [Snort-users] snort wont log to mysql database


Good evening,
I am unable to get snort to log to my mysql database. I'll be as specific as

possible. I am using Slackware 8.0 2.2.19 kernel snort-1.8.6 and 
mysql-3.23.49. In snort.conf I have the plugin for mysql uncommented and I 
am using the root user for mysql and correct password. The root user has all

privilages on the mysql database. I have snort compiled with mysql support 
and
verified it with the configure script. When I start snort using snort -c 
/etc/snort.conf -i ppp0 -D snort starts and so does a mysql connection. I 
did check the sensor table and it shows the ip address of ppp0 which is a 
ppoe adsl connection. When I try a ping -l 1600 <ipaddress of ppp0> it does 
not log to either the mysql database or /var/log/snort/alert.
Any suggestions I am truly stumped!!
Thanks,
 -Marty
