The error occurred again, output from ossec.log: 2010/07/20 03:51:28 ossec-dbd(5203): ERROR: Error executing query 'SELECT id FROM location WHERE name = 'sles11-sp1-vm1-kus->ossec-monitord' AND server_id = '1' LIMIT 1'. Error: 'MySQL server has gone away'.
Running var/ossec/bin/ossec-control status shows the following sles11-sp1-vm1-kus:/var/ossec # /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control status ossec-monitord is running... ossec-logcollector is running... ossec-remoted is running... ossec-syscheckd is running... ossec-analysisd is running... ossec-maild not running... ossec-execd not running... ossec-dbd: Process 28624 not used by ossec, removing .. ossec-dbd not running... So it seems that the ossec-dbd is dying for whatever reason after some runtime!? I have added dbd.debug=2 in the internal_options.conf file and also changed the hostname from localhost to 127.0.0.1 in the ossec.conf file and restarted ossec afterwards. If I get any new results I will share with you. Regards, Kai-Uwe
