snort and mysql
Hello.
Iım trying to get Snort on my honeywall to log against an external
mySQL-database. Iıve added this line to /etc/snort/snort.conf:
output database: log, mysql, user=snort_user password=*******
dbname=snort_db host=*******
Iıve set up the mysql-server (and know itıs working, since Iım already
running another snort-process from a different IDS-sensor against it), and
the honeywall-logs tell me that the Snort/MySQL-handshake is completed after
Snort is restarted.
My question is then: Why isnıt Snort sending data to the database? Snort is
running and generating regular logs in /var/log/snort/xxx/, but nothing is
sent to the external database. Port 3306 is open, but there is no traffic
going out of the honeywall-GW on it.
Thank you.
