Hello all,
Forgive my ignorance as I am trying to get my head around memcached and how it
could help in a idea I have. My idea is to bring OSSEC and OpenVAS together and
share results between multiple nodes with the aim of being able to re-write
iptables or WAF rules.
I would be holding all data in a central MySQL database with a cron/daemon Perl
script that would query it and build datasets. This data would be written into
a memcached database if it does not already exist. Each web/application server
would have an instance of memcached running as-well so would the data
automatically be shared with the other servers ?
When memcached data is distributed to other nodes (servers) is there any sort
of trigger to show that new data exists ? or would one need to use a serial
number akin to DNS ?
Sorry if these are all silly questions!
