Hi

I was getting HTTP connection: 403 Forbidden error in logs

Error in HTTP connection: 403 Forbidden

Starting up mlog2waffle in "batch" mode, using config file /etc/mlog2waffle.conf


I also get this in tail mode.


I had checked permissions on folders and I had them correct. Verified username and password, same in both config on sensor and in WAF-FLE. Finally I decide to remove special characters in my password and updated in both places. After that logs were shipped and WAF-FLE was reporting properly. 


I am not positive but it seems that you cannot have an "@" in the password (perhaps a php call of some kind?). If this is correct, the "add sensor" screen on WAF-FLE server should note what cannot be used.
