Hello,

we're using aum with a valid rules subscription. The documents mention that aum updates the rules automatically. How is this done? Has anything to be done that rules are refreshed every x hours? For now I ran aum -uf (-u did not update the rules after a change in config file) but do I need to put this in cron myself - or is there another mechanism that does the automatic updates?

Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Yes, its automatic. You dont need to set anything up. By default will check hourly.

Michael, unfortunately something does not work as expected. I installed aum on our Debian 8 instance and everything seems to work, yet the automatic updates don't.

Code: Select all

xxxx@xxxx:/var/asl/updates# ll
insgesamt 2624
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 669734 Okt 14 00:08 modsec-201510131655.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 669698 Okt 15 13:23 modsec-201510141116.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 670698 Okt 19 15:26 modsec-201510161200.tar.bz2

only shows the last update from manually running aum -u.
After running aum -u there's a new file in /var/asl/updates from today.

I redid aum configure, but the updates aren't running every hour. Do I need to put something in cron.hourly for this manually maybe?

Best,
Sebastian
