Re: Snort can monitor syslog???

["Russ Combs \(rucombs\) via Snort-users" <snort-users () lists snort org>]

Note that Snort 3 can process files such as syslog directly, eg:

    sudo snort --daq-dir install/lib/snort/daqs --daq file -c install/etc/snort/snort.lua -R test.rules -r 
/var/log/syslog -A cmg

It does not yet monitor the log, so just stops at EOF, but that could be done.

It can monitor traffic coming from and going to the syslog server.  But it can't monitor the syslog itself.

Hi Team,

I know that snort scan monitor for the span/mirror port but is that snort can monitor the syslog server if i install 
the snort on the syslog server?
