| This section stores the general network configurations.
|
CacheSize
| Determines
the desired count of events in the memory cache. i.e the number of
events that Snare should keep if it can't reach at least one of the
hosts.If this is set then CacheSizeM cannot be altered.
|
CacheSizeM
| Determines the size of the in memory cache. The value must be between 1 and 1024.If this is set then CacheSize cannot be altered.
|
CheckTime | Number
of seconds the agent will internally reload its settings, drop and
reestablish network connection. Minimum set time is 300 seconds (5
minutes), maximum is 3600 seconds (1 hour). |

been set, "hostname" command output will be displayed. Must be no more

the remote users should be restricted via IP address or not. 0 = no
restrictions.
|
RestrictIP
| The IP address that is used to remotely control the agent.

[Certificate]
| This section stores SSL/TLS certificates configuration values.
|
DestinationCertPreference | Set to either "ANY" or "STRICT", this value defines the required level of SSL/TLS certificate verification when connecting to a remote destination server. Note: SSL/TLS certificate verification is not relevant if UDP or TCP protocol is used to connect to the destination.
Accepted values are:
ANY - (Default) Require an SSL/TLS certificate to be presented, but accept the certificate even if the chain of trust cannot be authenticated, or the hostname does not match the presented certificate. This is useful for self-signed certificates.
STRICT - Require an SSL/TLS certificate to be presented, and have both a valid chain of trust and also a hostname matching the certificate. A hostname must be provided in the associated Destination#Host setting, as an IP address will not work. |
DestinationCertPreferenceSAM | Set to either "ANY" or "STRICT", this value defines the required level of SSL/TLS certificate verification when connecting to a Snare Agent Manager server. Accepted values are:
ANY - (Default) Require an SSL/TLS certificate to be presented, but accept the certificate even if the chain of trust cannot be authenticated, or the hostname does not match the presented certificate. This is useful for self-signed certificates.
STRICT - Require an SSL/TLS certificate to be presented, and have both a valid chain of trust and also a hostname matching the certificate. A hostname must be provided in the SAM1IP setting, as an IP address will not work. |
WebCertID | The thumbprint of the certificate to be used for HTTPS web user interface interactions. By default, Snare Agent generates a self-signed certificate. Customer is welcome to replace it with a CA-signed certificate for improved security. |

AuditCollect | Determines whether Snare is to
automatically set the system auditd configuration. Set this value to 0
for no, or 1 for Yes. Will default to TRUE (1) if not set. The auditd configuration will be modified to have dispatcher set to the agent executable regardless of this setting in order for auditd to still launch the agent. |
