Snort not running after update 9.709-3

Hello Guys,

Since last update to version 9.709-3 I do a regular error send from our SGM 115 stating "Snort not running".
This happens quite often. I searched in our logs and found under IPS something like:

Detection:
2022:04:06-14:09:29 astaro snort[2112]: Search-Method = AC-BNFA-Q
2022:04:06-14:09:29 astaro snort[2112]: Search-Method-Optimizations = enabled
2022:04:06-14:09:29 astaro snort[2112]: FATAL ERROR: /etc/snort//etc/snort/rules/astaro.rules(0) Unable to open rules file "/etc/snort//etc/snort/rules/astaro.rules": No such file or directory.
2022:04:06-14:09:35 astaro snort[2134]: Enabling inline operation
2022:04:06-14:09:35 astaro snort[2134]: Running in IDS mode
What is going on? How can I fix it?

  • Is IPS disabled or showing any issues in the log file for it besides what you posted? Are you doing any kind of direct database output for snort?

  • IPS itself is turned off only things in use are anti port scan and DoS / Flooding. No direct database output is configured.
    To be honest I don't even know how I could dump stuff to a database using UTM 9.

  • Hallo and welcome to the UTM Community!

    What result do you get from the following at the command line?

         ll /var/chroot-snort/etc/snort/rules/astaro.rules

    If there's something there, then I think Amodin hit the nail on the head by asking if IPS is disabled.

    Cheers - Bob
