Hi all,

I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple but I've run into a small issue 
with the standard iptables decoders in 
ossec_decoders/kernel-iptables_apparmor_decoders.xml

The problem I have is that the patterns described in the various decoders 
in this file do not match the pattern that I use for Iptables logs.  Simple 
issue, right?

Examples of my logs:
May 21 05:56:10 agora kernel: [25811.034035] IPT: GEOIP VIETNAM DROP:

SPT=54776 DPT=25 SEQ=1191919764 ACK=0 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 

The problem with the patterns in kernel-iptables_apparmor_decoders.xml is 
they commonly seem to use a single word for the Iptables log prefix or 
start with "Shorewall".  Neither of which work for me.

Now, I have been able to write a decoder that works with these logs.  It is:

<decoder name="local_iptables">
    <parent>iptables</parent>
    <regex offset="after_parent">^[\s*\d+.\d+] ipt: \.+ (\S+): in=\.+ 
src=(\S+) dst=(\S+) </regex>
    <order>action,srcip,dstip</order>
</decoder>

However, this only works if I place it in 
ossec_decoders/kernel-iptables_apparmor_decoders.xml.  If I move it to 
local_decoder.xml, it appears to be never seen.

Included in that file, the output of  ossec-logtest is:

However when that decoder is included in local_decoder.xml, the output of 
ossec-logtest is:

So the question I have is how I can enable parent from within 
local_decoders.xml?  I appear to have the basic syntax right but there is 
something different when it changes which file it's in. 

And I do believe it should be enabled for both cases, because in my 
ossec.conf, I have three lines:
<decoder_dir>etc/ossec_decoders</decoder_dir>
<decoder_dir>etc/wazuh_decoders</decoder_dir>
<decoder>etc/local_decoder.xml</decoder>

Any ideas?  Or did I just skip part of the RTFM?

Thanks,

Dave
