Re: Correlator throwing "Invalid input value"

Thank you for the response! I stumbled on this fact as well when I was look=
ing through the change logs for the idmef.py file. I did try the patch to 0=
.9-beta (as well as compiling and running Prelude Correlator 1.0.0). Both "=
worked" with the fix. =


The one thing I was still surprised by, however, was that the correlated al=
erts listed N sources in the alert.source field where N is the number of al=
erts correlated (even if there were duplicates). For example, if all 30 ind=
ividual alerts come from the same source, the EventScan alert shows 30 sour=
ces in the alert.source idmef structure. I want each unique entry to appear=
 only once, so I added some of my own code to do this. I would have thought=
 the Match function would do this for me, but I think it may not compare li=
sts properly. =

Hello Mike,

Sorry for the delay, actually I replied Friday but I had a problem with the
mailing list.

Your problem reminds me a bug I have reported (and corrected):

http://lists.prelude-technologies.com/pipermail/prelude-cvslog/2010-March/0=
12958.html

Could you apply the patch and see if it removes your problem ?

BR,
