WARNING: The database output plugins are considered deprecated as!!          of Snort 2.9.2 and will be removed in Snort 2.9.3.!!          The recommended approach to logging is to use unified2 with!!          barnyard2 or similar.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!database: must enter database name in configuration fileUSAGE: database plugin output database: [log | alert], [type of database], [parameter list] [log | alert] selects whether the plugin will use the alert or log facility. For the first argument, you must supply the type of database. The possible values are mysql, postgresql, odbc, oracle and mssql  The parameter list consists of key value pairs. The proper format is a list of key=value pairs each separated a space. The only parameter that is absolutely necessary is "dbname". All other parameters are optional but may be necessary depending on how you have configured your RDBMS. dbname - the name of the database you are connecting to host - the host the RDBMS is on port - the port number the RDBMS is listening on user - connect to the database as this user password - the password for given user sensor_name - specify your own name for this snort sensor. If you        do not specify a name one will be generated automatically encoding - specify a data encoding type (hex, base64, or ascii) detail - specify a detail level (full or fast) ignore_bpf - specify if you want to ignore the BPF part for a sensor              definition (yes or no, no is default) FOR EXAMPLE: The configuration I am currently using is MySQL with the database name of "snort". The user "

[email protected]" has INSERT and SELECT privileges on the "snort" database and does not require a password. The following line enables snort to log to this database. output database: log, mysql, dbname=snort user=snortusr host=localhostERROR: Fatal Error, Quitting..
