Real Time E-Mail Alerts for Windows


Posted by Rainlander on July 21, 2005 07:39:18

I have successfully installed & configured Snort 2.3.3 on windows XP & 2000. Real time monitoring is done with SAM. But I still don't have any email alerts facility. I have also tried Swatch installation on windows. It installed successfully & I ran the following command

e:\snort\swatch:> "swatch -c swatch.conf -t e:\snort\log\alert.ids"

My swatch.conf file which I created is in swatch directory & I am wanting it to monitor my snort log file. I have not configured syslog as output.
But it gives me following error

swatch: cannot find "tail" program in PATH

The path is correct. Could someone help me solve this problem?? Is there any other alternative to swatch as real time email alert mechanism.
