Re: alert_json logger - not working

Hello,

Do you get alerts using one of the other logging methods (-Acsv)?

Subject: [Snort-users] alert_json logger - not working

Hello,

I have recently installed Snort3 on Centos Stream 8, using the instructions provided by Snort 3 on the CentOS 8 Stream document (Snort_3_GA_on_CentOS8_Stream.pdf). I believe I successfully completed the steps of sections 7.5 (Configuring alert_json Logger), but the installation doesn't appear to work. A file is created with the name "alert_json.txt, but it doesn't contain any contents. Is something missing in my configuration? Can someone provide some insight into what might be causing this problem?

See attachments:

  2.  snort_default.lua
  3.  Results of running a test against a pcap.
Here's what the snort log folder looks like:

[root@localhost snort]# cd /var/log/snort/
[root@localhost snort]# ls -la
total 4
drws-----T.  2 snort snort   50 Mar 29 21:04 .
drwxr-xr-x. 10 root  root  4096 Mar 27 03:49 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root  root     0 Mar 29 21:04 alert_fast.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 root  root     0 Mar 29 21:04 alert_json.txt


Thanks
