Snort Sensor Name

To get the name of the sensor which is logging a particular event we need to include  sensor_name=Bodhidarmar in the snort.conf file.


root@Bodhidarmar:/home/bala# grep sensor_name /etc/snort/snort.conf
output database: log, mysql, user=********** password=**************** dbnames=******* host=localhost sensor_name=Bodhidarmar
