RE: ACID tables populated, charts seem OK, but some query results empty

["subs" <subs () saneward net>]

Bruce (and others),

Thanks for the heads-up - I've also now been informed off-list of ACID's
demise.

If I'd realised it was dead I'd have gone straight for BASE - which I will
now.

Mind you, this on ACID's homepage:
"It should be noted that ACID is the result of ongoing work at the CERT
Coordination Center for the AIRCERT project"

...doesn't help much.

I've mailed the maintainer and requested a note be put on the ACID homepage.

Best wishes,
S

Why not use BASE?
ACID is a dead product.
BASE is an improved and maintained fork from ACID.

Subject: [Snort-users] ACID tables populated, charts seem OK, but some query
results empty

Snort and ACID up for 12 hours, now - my acid_main.php shows:

Sensors: 1
Unique Alerts: 7    (   5 categories   )
Total Number of Alerts: 233
    * Source IP addresses: 41
    * Dest. IP addresses: 14
    * Unique IP links 75
    * Source Ports: 38
          o TCP ( 2)  UDP ( 36)
    * Dest. Ports: 3
          o TCP ( 1)  UDP ( 2)

... with appropriate histograms for Traffic Profile by Protocol.

I can successfully chart Time vs. number of Alerts, and I see data in the
acid tables.

PROBLEM: Some standard queries from acid_main.php give me empty results
Sensors                         OK
Unique alerts                   empty
Categories                              OK
Total Number of Alerts          empty
Source IP addresses             OK
Dest. IP addresses              OK
Unique IP links                 OK
All source/dest ports queries   OK

Snapshot queries:
Most recent Alerts (all)                empty (gives count of 15, for
all)
Today's: alerts unique, listing empty (with counts)
Today's: alerts unique, src, dts        OK

Etc...

It appears that results are only shown where IPs are looked up - what could
be the problem?

Sorry if this is a FAQ (I have searched).

Any help appreciated.
