Broken Snort timestamps?

Luca / all,

I recently configured my Snort box to use PF_RING and the ixgb TNAPI
driver, it appears to be working correctly but Snort is logging '0' for
the timestamp on all alerts.

Below is an example --

(Event)
sensor id: 0 event id: 24 event second: 0 event microsecond: 0
sig id: 2002027 gen id: 1 revision: 15 classification: 29
priority: 3 ip source: x.x.x.x ip destination: x.x.x.x
src port: 6667 dest port: 58737 protocol: 6 impact_flag:
0 blocked: 0

Packet
sensor id: 0 event id: 24 event second: 0
packet second: 0 packet microsecond: 0
linktype: 1 packet_length: 101

I'm not certain that this is a question for the ntop list, though
because I'm using PF_RING, the PF_RING daq module, and the TNAPI driver
I figured this would be a good place to start. I'm using a version of
PF_RING checked out from the svn repo last Thursday, Snort 2.9.2.2 and
daq 0.6.2.

Any guidance that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Bob

Re: Broken Snort timestamps? [In reply to]

Interestingly, I just had the same problem with Suricata, PF_RING 5.4.0,
ixgbe-3.7.17-TNAPIv2-260412

I (finally) got TNAPI working with Suricata set to monitor tnapi0@0 -
tnapi0@5 with one thread per queue and it gave very good performance.

It is logging *some* of the timestamps correctly but mostly not. Both
alerts (fast.log) and HTTP logs end up with 0.

I did a "tcpdump -i tnapi0@1 -s0" to a pcap and fed that to Suricata
and the timestamps were fine.

I started TNAPI with

insmod ixgbe.ko adapters_to_enable=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx RSS=6,6
num_rx_slots=2048

DNA works fine, but seems to use more CPU for some reason.

Best Wishes,
Chris
