barnyard2 open the wrong logfile

[ThomasCr]

hi,

when I run barnyard2 with the follow command, it not opens the right logfile:

barnyard2 -c /etc/barnyard2/barnyard2.conf -d /var/log/snort -f snort.log -w /var/log/snort/barnyard2.waldo -g snort -u snort

I want it to open "snort.log" and in output its opening snort.log.1440768714. I also could figure out, that -f gives only the base filename.

What option stays, that barnyard opens the right file?

Hi You need to carefully examine the content of syslog once barnyard2 has initialised and it starts processing your log files. But my guess is that you need to put a '/' at the end of the -d option i.e -d /var/log/snort__/__ Regards

Hi Thomas,

Send us the content of barnyard2.conf and the output of "ls -la /var/log/snort " .
