Opallios Distribution of ELSA 0.3 released

[Martin Holste]

Hi everyone,

Opallios continues their great work on making ELSA better with their newest ELSA distribution release: http://opallios.com/blogs/announcing-ode-0-3-release/ . Highlights include an improved charting library (no more OpenFlashChart!), some new aggregate functions, and integration with FluentD for additional log pre-parsing. I will be working with them to get their improvements committed into the mainline. In the meantime, I encourage you to check out their distribution and see if it makes your ELSA installation and maintenance easier.

Thanks,

Martin

What would a migration from ELSA proper to ODE look like? Do they
package up all of the Perl dependencies as well? Would syslog-ng and
sphinx have to be manually removed first? What about the database and
index files? Would it recognize that data already existed and not drop
the db?

Hi Michael,

   Due to the nature of packaging we have not extensively tested the migration path from existing ELSA installs to ODE. If you try run the ODE package on the existing ELSA box, it'll basically run a fresh install (if the perl dependencies exist they r skipped, data is not guaranteed to stay). We're looking to see if we can provide a cleaner migration path from ELSA to ODE on existing boxes, but it may not happen until next release (ODE 0.5).  We'll try out ELSA -> ODE 0.3 and report if there are any manual steps required to do the update.

Hi Martin,

I have been testing ODE for about a month now and overall have been very happy with its performance.  However, when I try to access the website to look at the documentation I get an error - 'Error establishing a database connection'.

If someone on the Opallios team is checking this, can you get the web server back up and running?

Thanks,
Jeff

The documentation for ODE 0.3 is pretty much the same as ELSA except the install process,

Hi Martin,

ODE is indeed a great alternate to ELSA manual install. Im getting apache xradius error when starting the httpd service. Below is the error:

Starting httpd: [Wed Jan 18 04:52:12 2017] [warn] module auth_xradius_module is already loaded, skipping

[Wed Jan 18 04:52:12 2017] [warn] module auth_xradius_module is already loaded, skipping

Syntax error on line 14 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/auth_xradius.conf:

Invalid Type for AuthXRadiusCache!

When i commented the line    AuthXRadiusCache memcache "127.0.0.1" in auth_xradius.conf the service started but no webgui. Any suggestion?

OS: 2.6.32-642.11.1.el6.x86_64 (CentOS 6.7)

Muhammad,

I cant speak to how to solve your current issue, but another option may be Security Onion, as it includes ELSA, and is very simple to install.  Perhaps it may be easier for to try out ELSA in this manner.

Thanks,
Wes
