Thread: snort database




snort database

I am installing a sensor on one server and the
database/framework on
another server. I want snort to listen on the sensor server.


sensor  <----> framework / server
snort           (snort database needed here?)
ssh
(etc)


Here is where I get confused. It seems that sensor
communicates to the
server through the agent. So, why in Configuration->Main
do I need to
enter information about the snort database? Does the
framework need to
talk to the mysql database for snort directly?

As it has been the last years the sensor (snort) needed to
write  
directly to the database. With today's release there's a way
to  
output in unified format and let the server write the
payload into  
the snort database.

Also, the framework needs to access the snort database in
order to  
get even information, mainly:

- Security reports
- Event viewer
- Upgrades

Greetings,

Dominique
