Re: Snort Reporting and logs

["Atkins, Dwane P" <ATKINSD () uthscsa edu>]

When I ran the /usr/local/snort/bib/snort –D –u snort –g snort –c /usr/local/snort/etc/snort.conf –I eth1, packets 
started processing.  This is the same command I have in the RC.LOCAL.

However, I did receive the following error: ERROR: Unable to open Reference file 
'/user/local/snort/etc/reference.config' (No such file or directory)

And something just isn't right.  When I go to web into http://10.10.10.10/snortreport-1.3.1/alerts.php, it does not 
appear to want to speak.

I know these are an awful lot of questions.  I was reading a book on snort last night hoping to find some answers.

I am still looking for the perfect management console. I do not want to purchase an appliance or anything and we have 
limited financial resources but I would like a management console where we can manage multiple sensor, do some 
reporting and also manage events, such as deleting them and marking them as low priority or do not trigger.

Is there something like this out there?

Thanks for all your help.

I don't see Snort on that list at all. Just looks like Barnyard is running, not Snort.

It shows it trying to load?  I am guessing this is what the “?” in the PID means?

Are you sure Snort is still running, and on the correct interface?

Snort 2.9.0.3 has been installed on a PowerEdge 2850.  I have a pretty decent hard drive on it and more if I need to do 
LVM.  However, when I try to use the http://snortbox/snortreport-1.3.1/alerts.php, it will not view.  So I look to see 
if I am actually logging packets and I go to /var/log/snort and I see the barnyard2.waldo has not been updated in 
almost 17 hours and that snort.u2.12$$$$$$  has not been up dates sfor 17 hours either.  This is the busiest Vlan on 
campus and I am sure will always be updated.

My questions are,


1.)     How do I ensure that the logging continues?  What does it stop like that? And---

2.)    Is there a reporting tool that is more reliable for me than SnortReports and if so, what do you all recommedn 
and is tehre install instructions for both installation and extrapulating the proper traffic from the Snort Sensors.?

Thanks
