Hey Dan,

You mean to say this way it will only give diff out put in alert right?

But you know this way I have to maintain external crontab.

Stupid solution:
Periodically "iptables -nL > /var/iptables_check/current"
And syscheck that directory with something like:
<directories realtime="yes" report_changes="yes"
check_all="yes">/var/iptables_check</directories>

I know what you're saying, and I thought the check_diff option did
that. My mistake.
If not, I don't think there's a way to do it.

Thanks Dan,

I have that option, And its working but problem is its dumping full
iptables -L -n output on my email alerts. I want only diff output of
particular changes in iptables. Do you know what i am saying ?

 <!-- Monitoring firewall rules -->
 <rule id="100004" level="10">
       <if_sid>530</if_sid>
       <match>ossec: output: 'iptables -S</match>
       <check_diff />
       <description>Change made to iptables</description>
 </rule>

It should be possible. Try adding <check_diff /> to the rule.

Is it possible i get diff output of my iptables command? Currently its
dumping full output. it would be good if we have only diff output.

There is no setting to do what you want. You'll have to dig into the source.

Hey Guys!

I am monitoring iptable output and doing check_diff to compare and alert but somehow i am getting half output of "iptables -L - n" I knew
there is a limit of email alert output.

can we increase limit ?
