[ossec-list] Change the location of /var/ossec/logs/ossec.log

2011-02-03 Thread Chris Everest
I don't see an obvious way to change the default location of the ossec.log. Can I change this to /var/log/ossec.log? Otherwise, I'll just symlink for convenience. Thanks

There's no configuration for where the log exists. OSSEC chroots to /var/ossec (or where ever you installed it to). So the file you symlink to will have to be in this directory. On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 12:24 PM, Chris Everest chrisever...@gmail.com wrote: I don't see an obvious way to change the

See here: http://www.ossec.net/wiki/Samples_of_attacks_detected_by_ossec I would think the only issue here is that OSSEC is *responsive* and will look for patterns from the logs post-occurrence. So if your app is vulnerable to SQL injection, theoretically, the attacker would get in on the first

No logs makes tracking down issues with this junk much much harder. Look in the other log file too. access_log or whatever it's called. Can the web application access the files? Have you tried modifying the permissions of the files that don't work to match the file that does? On Thu, Feb 3, 2011

Hi Dan, So, I did enable debug and checked the permission and all that but still nothing still shows up in the log. However, looking at the code, I think I found the problem. It seems to be a logical problem that's why no error gets logged. The problem seems to be in os_lib_syscheck.php in

OK. I found it. The issue has to do with $filepattern variable. The filenames look like this: (myhost1.mydomain.com) 10.10.10.184-syscheck And the regex fails to match the first part of the filename (i.e. (myhost1.mydomain.com)) because it does not check for existance of the . in the first part
