Empty events list (No events found) #293

Closed kerf07 closed 9 months ago

kerf07 commented 9 months ago

I installed Evebox with sqlite on my server with suricata. it seems to run correct, without errors.

Server_running

it also collect events id DB

filesize

But doesn't show events in interface

empty_events

And i can't understand the reason

kerf07 commented 9 months ago

i started evebox server with -vvv and, after refresh page in browser, saw "evebox::sqlite::eventrepo::alerts: Rows=0, Elapsed=1 ms" in logs

This is very much how I use EveBox myself. With -vvv on the agent and server you should see something like:

Agent

2024-02-03 17:14:14 TRACE evebox::agent::importer: Committing 3 events (bytes: 2693)
2024-02-03 17:14:14 TRACE evebox::bookmark: Writing bookmark /data/eb0e870c1998c30087f3be2ea20af6e0.bookmark

Server

2024-02-03 17:15:19 DEBUG evebox::sqlite::importer: Committed 3 events in 2 ms

Are you running the server and the agent on the same machine? If so, you could drop the agent and just modify the server unit file, or the server configuration file and have it consume the logs directly.

See input at https://evebox.org/docs/server/configuration

Might at least help with figuring out whats going on.

I assume the version is 0.17.2?

Thank you for your frequent answer! And for advice to use only server (without agent). While reading events.sqlite I mentioned that all records has "stats" type. And then I realized that for some reason my Suricata didn't detect any alerts. Further research has shown that iptables rules, responsible for the work of IPS mode of Suricata, disappeared. I set them back, and working capacity of Suricata and Evebox has been restored.
