Fairly self explanatory. :) The Snort binary that you are using wasn't compiled with the --with-mysql switch. Rebuild it with that enabled, and all should be well.

Hi, I=B4ve been planning to deploy Acid+Snort+Snortcenter in an "enterprise=

scenario with about 10 sensors with GigE Interfaces and one managment machine with mysql,apache, etc.. During my initial test Snort wrote about 6 Gig of information from sensor to managment machine within 8 hours.

I read the FAQ and also did some serious Googling to learn how to improve performance but creating indexes and tuning buffers did not really help.

Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 10:13:20 +0200 I tried it sometime ago with Dragon 5 and Snort snmp plugin, but the results were not what I expected. AFAIR there where problems to differentiate the OIDs in Dragon to have Dragon report on each specific Snort rule. If you plan to work on it I could send you a small script to convert Snort rules (pre 2.0) to Dragon rules if I can find it again ;) As of Dragon 6 I think it should be possible to write an own Dragon plugin for Snort (using the newly introduced Dragon API for development) but never tried it though. So long, Sandro
Hello Everyone, Has anyone tried to integrate Dragon and Snort? What I mean by integration is having Snort detect events, send them to Dragon (SNMP?) and have Dragon take action? I thought about that possibility and I wondered if anyone had tried.

For example, above I have timestamp, srcip and sport going into the csvalert file. So what are all the other values I can have. I know there is dstip, dport, msg, protoname and a few others, but is there a definitive list anywhere? Also, are there any detailed docs for barnyard? I have the docs that come with the barnyard package, but I would love to find a really nice thick and juicy barnyard man page :D Thanks everyone!

Are you using one of the portscan preprocessors in a way which would cause your scan to trigger an alert?
