Portscan - remote mysql and Acid ??

["Jeffries, Michael MJ" <Michael.Jeffries () standardbank co za>]

Hi there,

I have added the following line in my snort.conf file

preprocessor portscan: any 5 7 /var/log/portscan.log

So I am now logging portscan type messages to /var/log/portscan.log, BUT the
issue is, I have a mysql database server and the ACID consol on a different
machine, How do I get my portscan to feed into this remote database instead
of this current flatfile so that ACID on my management station can read it
from a DB?

All other messages gets logged perfectly to the database, besides these
portscans.

Thanks a ton
Mike
