Hi all,
I have configured my security onion server to send alerts to my packetfence 
server (version 6.2.1), and I can see that they're getting there through 
TCPdump.

IDS server:

I've configured the rsyslog as per the packetfence docs, and created the syslog 
parser and the violations I'd like to trigger. However the violation isn't 
triggering when I can see from the sguild.log on the IDS server that it's being 
seen. Looking at pfdetect.log I can see the following which suggests that for 
some reason the syslogger isn't sending the alert to packetfence:
Oct 07 14:46:41 pfdetect(11814) INFO: pfdetect starting and writing 11814 to 
/usr/local/pf/var/run/pfdetect.pid (pf::services::util::createpid)
Oct 07 14:46:41 pfdetect(11814) INFO: initialized (main::)

/var/log/messages shows:
Oct  7 13:53:09 idsserver sguil_alert: 13:53:09 pid(29886)  Alert Received: 0 1 
policy-violation idsserver-eth0-7 {2016-10-07 13:53:08} 21 173758 {ET P2P Vuze 
BT UDP Connection} 10.6.198.173 117.199.69.129 17 10600 10600 1 2010140 6 77 77

Is the format causing issues?
How about the timestamp? I can see that the IDS server is using UTC but my PF 
server is on GMT+1.

Cheers,
Andi
