Starting from Snare v5.3.3 following GUI page is added, called Snare Log. This page is aiming to assist in real-time troubleshooting of Snare Agent operation. All these log messages are also sent to file/network destination(s) as ‘HeartBeat’ messages.

A new feature to this page is added from Snare v5.6; where Snare can be configured to generate the debug log at run time time. The debug log is run for a specific period of time. See the Appendix E - Debug logs if debug log needs to be run for longer period of time.

 

This page shows the last 1000 agent log messages as per the log level selected on the “Heartbeat & Agent Log” page. ERROR and FATAL log messages are cleared every 10 minutes, whereas all other log messages are cleared as per Agent Heartbeat Frequency; set on “Heartbeat & Agent Log” page. If Heartbeat is disabled then these messages can be cleared any time.
