Hello.

I=B9m trying to get Snort on my honeywall to log against an external
mySQL-database. I=B9ve added this line to /etc/snort/snort.conf:

output database: log, mysql, user=3Dsnort_user password=3D*******
dbname=3Dsnort_db host=3D*******

I=B9ve set up the mysql-server (and know it=B9s working, since I=B9m 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 afte=
r
Snort is restarted.

My question is then: Why isn=B9t 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.

Kind regards
Christian
