I like Itellitactics's NSM monitor aggregation software. It takes
reports from Manhunt, snort, tripwire, nessus, firewall events, etc.
When set up correctly, it can do spiffy little tricks like correlate a
firewall deny with a change alert from tripwire and flag a 'yellow'
alarm for our monitoring group while at the same time firing off a
nessus scan against the curiously-acting box. It's pretty nice. But
it's a pain to set up and not a minor thing to impliment.
