Default Re: [Snort-users] portscan events not showing up in base

Woops...

the portscan2 module should've read, and now does read

preprocessor portscan2: scanners_max 3200, targets_max 5000, target_limit 12, port_limit 25, timeout 3, log portscan2.log

I keep log files for the two portscan preprocessors that I rotate quite
frequently (every time they hit 20 megs) with some perl code I wrote,
just in case I need more info than the DB gives me (in this case it's
been helpful since I'm getting no portscan info from the db :)
