Hello,

I am using the stable version (0.9.1), but it's not a plain vanilla installation; i upgraded my old 0.9 installation to the latest version. I reckon that with all the upgrading, testing and whatnot that we went through something got really messed up.

So my plans are as follows: in a day or two i'll have enough time for a new testbed using the lastest versions available. Then i'll report back sharing my experiences which will hopefully be of good use.

It would be awesome if the installation procedure for ossec2mysql could be updated (maybe including known caveats). For instance, i had to download snort, extract the proper .sql file and import it to my database. Sure it worked okay(ish), but it would be nice to know how it's done from who really knows what they're doing (",)

Take care and thanks again.

I am using the server without agents and other servers sending their logs through syslog to the central syslog where ossec is running.
I have similar logs from other two servers in remote locations.

I am using regex to extract the alert host by parsing the line that starts with the date. In your sample they all seems to proceed from localhost
2006 Sep 01 16:05:46 localhost -> (webappserver)
2006 Sep 01 16:08:34 localhost -> (vitorcorreia)
In my case after the arrow I have the logfile where the event was learned from. In your case is ??? . I guess that the equivalent to mine is the line that you have starting with ip pointing to the logfile.

for what I see you are running a cvs version of ossec that is not stable yet.
you shouyld be using instead ossec latest snapshot from www.ossec.net

I think it is 20060820
or 9.1

You still should use my latest cvs snapshot for the ui.

There are a lot of changes since the last release and stable snapshot. As we work in different parts of the project, The latest cvs status may be broken like this case between ossec-hids and ossec-ui. Daniel Cid is doing the major changes in ossec-hids. We discussed them and we are suppose to merge and fix our interfaces.
I will try to schedule with Daniel to work on the integration of our latest changes during the following week. If you are interested in development of ossec continue from where you are and help us coding. If you meant to use ossec at a production server you should stick to the stables versions of ossec-hids and ossec-ui.

send as attachment a new alert log so I can parse it and see what's wrong.

Could you change 
dbhost=localhost
To the actual IP address to atleast see if that is where its coming from.

Subject: [ossec-list] OSSEC2MYSQL - Agents being reported as 127.0.0.1

Hello Meir & everyone,

In the past few days i managed to get a working installation of ossec2mysql in a server-client environment and i'm very happy with the outcome of all the testing and debugging done with the precious help of Meir. 

Still, one questions remains: my agents all show up in the alerts as 127.0.0.1. For debugging purposes i have the email notification on and all shows up well, 

i.e. the ips are being resolved or correctly sent. Meir, i've installed the lastest version of ossec-ui dating from 1-Sep-2006 01h10. 

I don't know if this helps, but here it goes:

cat /etc/ossec2base.conf



# PARAMS USED BY OSSEC2BASED
dbhost=localhost
database=ossecbase
debug=5
dbport=3306
dbpasswd=<pwd>
dbuser=<user>
fieldseparator=;
daemonize=0
sensor=ossec
interface=daemon


resolve=1

cat /etc/ossec-init.conf

DIRECTORY="/var/ossec"
VERSION="v0.9-1"
DATE="Wed Aug 30 15:16:17 WEST 2006"
TYPE="server"

Thanks,
./vcorreia
