Re: Snort+ and logging

[Andy Swartzbaugh via Snort-users <snort-users () lists snort org>]

1)  My understanding is that Barnyard was a remedy to cope with Snort2's
single-processor (i.e., not multi-processing) design and that Snort3 should
be able to handle logging without needing another process to handle the
logging.

2) from
www.snort.org/downloads/snortplus/snort_manual.html#_sniffing_and_logging :

snort --pcap-dir /path/to/pcap/dir --pcap-filter '*.pcap' -L dump -l
/path/to/log/dir

from www.snort.org/downloads/snortplus/snort_manual.html#_alert_syslog :

This must be done in snort.lua as opposed to the command line:

alert_syslog =
{
        facility = local3,
        level = info,

}

If you wanted to send the logs to another server, that would be handled
within rsyslogd (I use Ubuntu).  Create a file named
"/etc/rsyslog.d/10-snort.conf" : (the lower the number, the higher the
priority) :

and put the following line in it:

local3.* @loghost
