Re: [Stats] Get dropped packets count while snort runing (/proc/xxxx search)

[Thibault SOC <thibaultsoc () gmail com>]

Hi,

I use a debian 5 modified by alienvault (OSSIM Siem). The kill -usr1 <pid>
does not send anything to /var/log/message or /var/lod/snort*

I'll try the preproc (preprocessor perfmonito) wich seems to do what i want.

Thanks for your help

Thibault
