Interestingly enough, I can impliment it OK in my Snort 2.0 tests on Win32, but using 1.9 it fails :( John -----Original Message----- From: L. Christopher Luther [mailto:CLuther () Xybernaut com] Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 11:49 AM To: Snort-Users (E-mail) Subject: [Snort-users] Output Plugin - log_ascii Sensitivity: Confidential -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In previous posts regarding logging output, it was noted by some that Snort apparently has an undocumented output plugin called "log_ascii", which is the default logging facility if none other is specified. And supposedly one can add the option "output log_ascii" to the snort.conf file to re-enable the ASCII logging facility along side other logging facilities (e.g., output database: log, ...). However, when I specify this plugin in my snort.conf file, both Snort 1.8.6 and 1.8.7 return the following warning when started: *WARNING*: unknown output plugin "log_ascii", ignoring! Is this output plugin something new to Snort 1.9.x or something else? Sincerely, L. Christopher Luther Technical Consultant Xybernaut Solutions, Inc.
