Hi Michael,

after I've created an user snort at <ip sensor> at my remote mysql and
granted
all privileges to this user, I followed your advice setting output line in
snort.conf
properly. And all it's working fine now.

Thanks for your help.

My best regards,

Luis Claudio

luis claudio silveira,

You can specify the IP and for the remote MySQL database in the snort.conf
file in the output database line. You will do exactly as a local database
but set the host= to the IP of Remote MySQL Database server. Make sure you
have a clear shot from the Snort sensor to the Remote MySQL server.

With the remote MySQL server running you should be able to telnet from the
Snort sensor to the remote MySQL server on port 3306 or 3307, and get a
response (MySQL version) from the remote MySQL database.

It always a plus when you can have a standalone remote MySQL database.

Subject: [Snort-users] Sensor logging at remote mysql db

Hi all,

I've configurated a  snort sensor in a linux box and a remote mysql
console
(ACID console) running on a Windows machine. I need to know if it's
possible
make the sensor machine send its output directly to this remote mysql
db.
Is
it necessary to install mysql at sensor machine?? And considerations
about
performance? Is it this choice better than setup mysql db running at the
same sensor machine? I've appreciate any help for my doubt.

thanks in advance,

luis claudio silveira
