Try "upgrading" the agent (you can probably even use the same version and upgrade over itself). I recently had a similar issue, but a reboot seemed to fix everything. On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 12:27 PM, jplee3 wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm running into a problem where I cannot get the OSSEC agent (2.5.1)

You could definitely file an enhancement request (https://bitbucket.org/dcid/ossec-hids). You could also setup cron to run the reports for you instead of OSSEC. The cron job could look for the gzipped file and use that for the report, staying out of ossec-monitord's way. On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 12:

Hi Michael, Hmm, sounds a lot like what we're trying to do. How did you get around the fact that "last" spits out all entries in wtmp, not just newly- added ones? That's our biggest sticking point; wtmp gets very long very quickly and we don't need old entries, just new ones since the last check.

Dear All, We use the SRCIP Field to specify the priority of alerts. If an alert is generated by a Private IP address this is generated in our ticketing system as a Medium alert. If it is anything else, this is cut as a high. This should mean that any public IP address is seen as a high Incident.
