Word on the street is that Cisco Mars is going the way of the Dodo aka EOL'd.
It's functionality will be pushed and integrated with some other
product in the Cisco family.

Another option for a big budget is Cisco Mars.  It has many templates for various log input types, as well as the 
ability to create your own custom parser.

Asseem,
   If you have big budget (about $200K for arcsight) and you can afford it try ArcSight.  Its powerful but requires a 
lot of work to setup.  Once its up and running, it really rocks!  If you don't have a massive budget, then try 
prelude-ids from http://www.prelude-ids.org.  It is a very powerful system that can be used for free, or you can pay 
for the faster commercial modules ($10K for the works or something like that). Prelude can take input from anything, 
normalize it with minimal to no data loss, and correlate against it.

Hi all,

I am looking for an application that will allow me to write logic to
correlate alerts that can be fed in the format of (device type,alarm
name(from snort ids specifically) severity level, source ip, source
port, destination ip, destination port, timestamp & event count) from
a csv file.
The application need not be too fancy GUI kind, but one with a simple
interface but allows me to write logics using complex combinations of
various fields in various stages.

I have a logging software that logs everything, but it correlation
part is not reliable. Is anyone aware of any such software. Also not
looking for very expensive software.


Thanks
Aseem
