Snort parser

[#1]

I tested Snort alert and it's have log info following

[**] [1:10000001:1] ICMP test detected [**]
[Classification: Generic ICMP event] [Priority: 3]
06/06-14:54:02.125421 172.16.1.10 -> 172.16.1.20
ICMP TTL:126 TOS:0x0 ID:15052 IpLen:20 DgmLen:60
Type:8  Code:0  ID:1   Seq:1473  ECHO

When I checked storm log and it's show

2017-06-07 09:39:41.083 o.a.s.d.executor [ERROR]
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to parse message: 06/06-14:54:02.125421 172.16.1.10 -> 172.16.1.20

Can you help me?

Hi @Lee Adrian, can you check that you have re-configured your snort system to include year in the timestamp? This error could be the reason.

Check the Note section in this link - https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HCP1/HCP-1.1.0/bk_administration/content/supported_datasou...

Hi @asubramanian

I re-configured my snort system and It's show alert log.

[**] [1:10000001:1] ICMP test detected [**]
[Classification: Generic ICMP event] [Priority: 3]
06/07/17-16:37:15.044404 172.16.1.10 -> 172.16.1.20
ICMP TTL:126 TOS:0x0 ID:14129 IpLen:20 DgmLen:60
Type:8  Code:0  ID:1   Seq:1523  ECHO

And I re-configured snort.json file

{
  "parserClassName":"org.apache.metron.parsers.snort.BasicSnortParser",
  "sensorTopic":"snort",
  "parserConfig": {
        "dateFormat" : "MM/dd/yy-HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS",
        "timeZone" : "America/New_York"
  }
}

But it still fails.

Can you paste the error that you are seeing now? I am assuming you have restarted the snort topology.

You check help me. please.

I think. I miss configure at parserConfig or miss snort pattern.

[#7]

Hi @asubramanian

Can you susgest help me?

[#8 · Accepted solution]

Hi @Lee Adrian, you need to setup your snort to output CSV alerts and then push those into the snort kafka topic. The parser reconfiguration should not be necessary.

See this link on how to configure snort to output alert_csv.

Can you give this a try and let me know how it goes ?

Hi @asubramanian

I re-configured sucessfull. Thanks you.
