What is your Snort command line options when you run it?FWIW -- It is HIGHLY suggested that you not log directly from Snort to the DB. It IS suggested that you use the unified output module and use something like Barnyard or similar to read the unified files and put them in the DB.
But for now, what does your command line look like? joel esler | security consultant | Sourcefire | pgp key is public On Jun 20, 2007, at 8:08 AM, Louis Bohm wrote:
I am running Snort 2.6.1.5-1 on a Centos 5 machine with MySql 5.0.22-2.1. When I built snort I built it with the mysql option. In the snort.conf file I have the following:output database: log, mysql, user=snortuser password=xxxxx dbname=snortDB host=localhost detail=fullAnd I am also getting an alert log and a regular log file for each interface.At present I am not seeing a lot of events because I have not plugged the box in to a lot of places but I am seeing some and it is showing in the logs. However, I am getting nothing in the database. I am not even seeing a connection between snort and the DB. Snort is reporting NO errors what so ever. And if I run snort –T –c /etc/snort/snort.conf I see that it logs in to the DB with no problems.I know this should work I have done it before… Any thoughts?
