IPTables Logging Advice

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is anyone reading the list willing to give some advice on logging and analyzing iptables data?  I have a set-up that isn't very good, takes a lot of effort to maintain, and is outgrowing the amount of time I'd like to spend on it.  I'm toying with the idea of pulling it all up by the roots and starting again.

Has anyone used ulogd to log to mysql?  Can it be done to Oracle instead? (If not, I suppose that I can do exports)  How do you mitigate the DMZ issues?  (I hate holes in my firewalls)  Would you mind helping a poor soul who doesn't quite 'get' the ulogd documentation?  Is there a tutorial somewhere?  Is there something better?

My ideal logging solution would be to take data from all of my firewall layers and load it into a database.  From that database, I'll draw reports, do trending, and do some real-time alerting.  Something similar to ACID for snort, except I'll handle the database and reporting part (we've actually got some really good tools for this already, I just want to apply them against log data).


Thanks in advance,
