No Alerts on snorby-barnyard2

[lambis7]

i have succesfully deployed snort-barnyard2-pulledpork-snorby on raspberry pi 3, but i have no alerts on snorby gui nor on snorby database.

1. I tried to reboot the server with no effect.
2. I tried deleting all of snort's unied2 event logs and recreate the waldo file also with no effect.

On

/etc/snort/barnyard2.conf

i have added at the end the next line

output database: log, mysql, user=snorby password=password dbname=snorby host=localhost sensor_name=sensor1

With top command i see 2 instances of barnyard2. One from user snort, and one from root.

Here is my system log issued with

cat /var/log/syslog | grep barnyard

where i get an FATAL ERROR: Failed to Lock PID File "/var/run//barnyard2_eth0.pid" for PID "5022".

You have to define some filters/alerts. You're not getting anything here because it looks like maybe you didnt define any rules.

-or at least thats what was wrong when i had this "error"
