Hi All, I currently have snort compiled with mysql support and it is logging correctly, but I am looking at changing the logging to point at a central MS SQL server. Until I know it works I don't want to totally ditch the mysql logging.
Hi David, This isn't going to answer your question, but I think others would agree it should be said. Snort logging directly to any database in production is a bad idea. You should log to unified output and then use one of the many unified output readers to perform the database inserts.
