Unfortunately that didn't work Maarten. After following that logic I am
still getting all the email alerts for that account again. And yes, I
restarted the OSSEC daemons after adding the rules :-)
However, when I run the log entry against ossec-logtest, it appears to do
what I want by matching my overwritten #18180 rule -- yet in reality it
still sends an email due to it matching the #18152 composite rule (I'm not
sure how to use ossec-logtest to test a composite rule with multiple log
entries).
Here are the rules I added:
<!-- Rewrite rule #18180 to narrow down to bad SQL account and not add
the 'win_authentication_failed' group -->
<rule id="18180" level="5" overwrite="yes">
<if_sid>18105</if_sid>
<id>^18456$</id>
<match>Login failed for user 'USERNAME'</match>
<group>pci_dss_10.2.4,pci_dss_10.2.5,</group>
<description>MS SQL Server Logon Failure for 'dpa' only</description>
</rule>
<!-- Add new rule to take the place of rule #18180 after matching our bad
SQL account -->
<rule id="100150" level="5">
<if_sid>18105</if_sid>
<id>^18456$</id>
<group>win_authentication_failed,pci_dss_10.2.4,pci_dss_10.2.5,</group>
<description>MS SQL Server Logon Failure for 'dpa' only</description>
</rule>
Here's the output from ossec-logtest:

What am I still missing? Any ideas?
