Re: portscans doesn't appear in database

I'm having no problems viewing portscans in BASE using the 'output database' and the 'unified2' logging options in Windows (the latest of everything). Using the 'output database' option: With Windows I've defaulted: preprocessor sfportscan: proto { all } memcap { 10000000 } sense_level { high } logfile { portscan.log } I'm getting portscans to the database, the portscan.log is being populated, and I'm able to view the portscans in BASE. My base_conf.php has '$portscan_file = 'd:\winids\snort\log\portscan.log';' Using the 'unified2' option: When I use unified2 logging I I've defaulted: preprocessor sfportscan: proto { all } memcap { 10000000 } sense_level { high } I'm getting portscans to the database, and I'm able to view the portscans in BASE. My base_conf.php has '$portscan_file = '';' Note: I'm Not selecting the portscan.log because my 'preprocessor sfportscan:' configuration line is not creating one. I'm wondering what effect the BASE console is having by not having the 'preprocessor sfportscan:' option line creating a '{ portscan.log }' file, and BASE not being directed to use the portscan.log file?

Maybe it is the BASE bug? Anyway where can I find the portscan logs?
