Hi All,
I am running barnyard in continuous mode but the events table in mysql db is not getting populated. Snort runs in
daemon mode. Below is the script I am running for continuous mode:
/usr/local/bin/barnyard2 -c /etc/snort/barnyard2.conf -d /var/log/snort -f snort.log -w
/var/log/barnyard2/barnyard2.waldo
Below are the O/P plugins set in
snort.conf:********************************************************************************
# Step #6: Configure output plugins# For more information, see Snort Manual, Configuring Snort - Output
Modules###################################################
# unified2# Recommended for most installsoutput unified2: filename merged.log, limit 128,nostamp, mpls_event_types,
vlan_event_types
# Additional configuration for specific types of installs output alert_unified2: filename snort.alert, limit 128,
nostamp output log_unified2: filename snort.log, limit 128, nostamp
# syslog# output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
# output alert_csv: /var/log/snort/csv.out

barnyard2: Log directory = /var/log/snort
I have set a test alert to read ping requests to the sensor. I see the logs growing consistently:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 snort snort 4432431 Aug 22 19:23 alert-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Aug 21 01:23

But barnyard seems unable to process it.
Are the logs not in Unified2 format? what needs to be changed??
Thanks
Pratibha
