[ossec-list] Multiple instances of OSSEC running on a single system

2011-10-19 Thread Sherman Butler
I'm wondering if it's possible to have multiple instances of server or client running on the same host? Systems are x86 intel running x86 Solaris, no windows systems involved. We have two different groups of people using OSSEC for different issues. One group are the system admins and just

Thanks Kat We had suggested splunk as being a better tool for scraping the logs for their application stuff but the boss has already seen what OSSEC can do and likes the output and hasn't been receptive to trying anything else. I'll keep pushing it and hope for a better resolution to come our

[ossec-list] Stop particular alert

All, It's a bit embarrassing that I can't figure out how to stop this particular alert, but I don't know how.  Here's the situation: I have Sophos anti-virus installed on some of my Linux boxes.  I keep getting Ossec alerts like the following: 2011 Oct 19 11:21:59 Rule Id: 1002 level: 2

That works great for the server side and honestly I didn't consider the server to be a huge issue since we could always run it on a different host. The real issue in my mind is how to get the client to report to both servers at the same time looking at different log files. But now that I think

Oh and re-install with Update does not fix it - it won't re-create the folders, it only copies what it needs to - i.e. UPDATE. And of course if you tell it NOT to update, you lose your client keys.. *sigh*

Is that a lot? I buy in bulk. And I figured some of /var/ossec/queue would be ok to save. Maybe just get rid of the big files. On Oct 19, 2011 10:12 PM, Kat uncommon...@gmail.com wrote: it sucked up over 2G and was still running! On Oct 19, 8:49 pm, dan (ddp) ddp...@gmail.com wrote: # ls -l
