Well, I tried to configure ASL to log IPS alerts to an external MySQL database.
First it edited the snort.conf-default file for the proper output settings.
Created the necessary packet filter entry.
Then stopped and restarted the IPS.
FATAL ERROR.
The problem is that the snort_inline executable was compiled without MySQL support.
I tried replacing the snort_inline executable with a statically compiled binary from the snort_inline site that has MySQL support.
No FATAL ERROR but the machine doesn't route trafffic because ASL doesn't use the QUEUE target as the new binary expects.
So what can we do to log snort events to an ACID database?
