Hello Everyone,

I changed Snort' s config file and problem solved!. Thank you very much
Russ.

Old config file: (line 200)
config event_queue: max_queue 8 log 4 order_events content_length

New confg file: (line 200-201)
config event_queue: max_queue 8 log 2000 order_events content_length
config detection: max_queue_events 50000

I just changed "... log 4 ..." to "... log 2000 ..." and I add "config
detection: max_queue_events 50000" line. It works fine now. Thanks again
everyone!.

Hello Everyone,

I changed community rules with my own rules and I realize that SNORT just
prints alert messages maximum 5 times to console if it finds more than 5
alerts. For instance, I inspect one packet's payload with WireShark and
wrote one rule which matches with packet's payload. I wrote this rule 20
times to rule file and I ran Snort. Snort gave me just 5 alert messages.
How can I increase this alert count ? I am working on a Project and I am a
beginner. I am very pleased if you can help me.

Example:

Rule File:
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"Feature1"; content:"#JN1"; nocase;
sid:1)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"Feature2"; content:"#JN1"; nocase;
sid:2)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"Feature3"; content:"#JN1"; nocase;
sid:3)
.
.
.
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"Feature20"; content:"#JN1"; nocase;
sid:20)

Snort Output:

the [gid:sid:revision] https://www.snort.org/rule_docs/1-2019 do not
correspond to your alert settings above. Is this a real snort output?

Check your shutdown counts under Limits.? Looks like you need to
increase this:

config detection: max_queue_events

More info here:

Hope that helps.
