Hi,
Yes. '/var/log/snort' is a normal local directory. Below is the command result:
[root@localhost snort]# ls -l /var/log/snort
total 12
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Apr 26 02:51 alert
-rw-------. 1 snort snort 744 Apr 30 04:39 snort.log.1588235919
-rw-------. 1 snort snort 564 Apr 30 06:27 snort.log.1588242472
-rw-------. 1 snort snort 744 May 9 08:07 snort.log.1589026020
I tried your above command 'ls -l /var/log/snort/*.log' as well but, only till snort is a directory and rest of the path are logs in that. Below is the result:
[root@localhost snort]# ls -l /var/log/snort/*.log
ls: cannot access /var/log/snort/*.log: No such file or directory
Looking forward to hear back. Thanks...!!!
