Sorry about that...  

Anyway I am trying Barnyard and having no luck with it. I downloaded ver 0.2 of it from snort.org and compiled it with mysql support. In the barnyard.conf file I am guessing I use the output type for acid if I want to log it into the db???? So I created an output like this:

 output log_aciddb: mysql, sensor_id 1, database snortDB, server localhost, user snortuser, password XXXXX, detail full  

And when I run it barnyard say:

            WARNING /etc/snort/barnyard.conf(138) => Unknown output plugin "log_aciddb" referenced, ignoring!Fatal Error, Quitting..

Exiting  

So how do I tell barnyard about the plugins???

Here is my startup command line.

/usr/sbin/snort -A fast -b -d -D -I -i eth1 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/eth1

If I did what you suggest (using a unified output module) what would you recommend I use to do this? What are the differences between the output modules? I ask because I have never used them before.

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?

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=full  

And 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?  

Thanks,

Louis
