Snort inilization failure
-
Ignore my previous post, it did it again after a few minutes. After about 5 minutes of up time, the snort process exits. Here's the log:

Not enough ram.
-
I have 512mb, and after clicking 'save' it boots up fine. Far as I can tell no other processes are killed either.
And this line is incorrect:
Oct 31 22:47:14 SnortStartup[1307]: Ram free BEFORE starting Snort: 16M – Ram free AFTER starting Snort: 270M -- Mode ac-sparsebands -- Snort memory usage: -
We recommend 1024 megs.
http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=ReleaseCaveats
-
Yea I've seen that. I didn't have problems with starting up until 1.0.1. I'll try getting more ram and see if that solves it.
-
Nothing in snort changed in 1.0.1 except for 2 filter rules changes and the startup messages shown in the system log.
Hardly anything related to this.
-
Upgraded to a new system: P4 2.4ghz, 1GB ram, 300gb HD (with 2gb swap).
Snort will not start up upon reboot. I have to click 'Save' under settings each time to get it to boot up.
I now have plenty of memory. When Snort does startup properly after clicking save, the total memory usage hovers around 57%. So I know it's not a memory issue now.
Also, there is no way this log statement is correct:
Nov 3 06:23:35 SnortStartup[1291]: Ram free BEFORE starting Snort: 18M – Ram free AFTER starting Snort: 444M -- Mode ac-sparsebands -- Snort memory usage: -
Uninstall snort and reinstall.
-
That seems to have taken care of it. Did you make any changes?
-
You probably installed during the development of the startup notification code. I'll bump the version this weekend.
-
Grr. I just rebooted again, and it did not start up. I can't seem to find a pattern here.
-
ok. The problem still exists. I've rebooted 5 times. Inbetween each reboot, I waited 10 minutes. During the first 3 minutes on each reboot, Snort would start to initialize. 3-4 minutes after rebooting, snort will exit. Only way to get snort to start is to click 'save' under snort settings. After clicking 'save' and about 3 minutes later, snort completes initialization and I start to receive alerts.
Here's the log of when it fails:

I see the same problem.
-
I am also seeing snort randomly restart itself. It seems to happen in the middle of the night. Anyone seeing this in their logs?
-
DHCP? It restarts after renewing the lease. Normal.
-
Ok. That would explain random restarts. However, sometimes when it restarts at night it does not fully initialize and will terminate. I have to click save to start it up again.

3xIntel Pro 100 nicsI have the same specs on my machine, however when I click save snort does successfully boot back up. If you are not running in ac-sparsebands mode, try running in that mode and see if it works for you.
At any rate at least I know I am not the only one with this problem.
-
It does load back up after I press save, but only for a minute or 2 then it bombs out again
