my idea to use the real ip instead 0.0.0.0 is to organize the alerts at base ... for example, i have a server that monitor many agents ... using base for analise the alerts, i can' t order by host, the alerts are mixed ... if use the dstip like real ip, i can go to dest ip addrs -> select an ip and i got all the alerts from that host, it's possible make this comparison that you explain using the srcip like 0.0.0.0 or real ip ...

i will not hesitate, it's a productive debate.

        Isn't better the dst ip is always the agent (if agent-server)
    or the
    machine (if local installation) and the src ip the ip that try to
    connect or 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> if is something local ?

        I believe that using this way is better to organize information at
    BASE, right ?


I use srcip 0.0.0.0 <http://0.0.0.0> To indicate that it may not be a network related alert ( like new user). If I would use 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> then I would be mixing real srcip alert from 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> of a network related alert like ssh from localhost

Please do not hesitate to continue the debate.
