Anyone able to parse syslog events with snortalog? The software gives the option for 'pix' but all the entries get dropped in the log file. Using PIX Firewall Syslog Server (PFSS) for the capture. The snortalog package is working 100% for all other IDS linux based systems. The PIX OS is a legacy version.
 
Did you enable the ids function of the pix, with the ip audit commands ? if yes, you should see some syslog messages containing "PIX-4-4000nn IDS:" these are the messages from the very simple ids function of the pix, if you want more from the pix, you need to parse the regular logs from the pix, but i do not think snort will be able to do this.
