MySQLOutput database & No logging

["Ryan Swenson" <Ryan.Swenson () togethersoft com>]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to only output to a database and avoid any or all file output? I do not want any alert files or 
files in general.

Can Multiple sensors report to a single database? 

Has anyone tried writing a backend utility to manage the Database itself. That is perhaps if we develop a utility which 
can manage an IDS database we can monitor for event correlation throughout a snort deployment of several sensors. When 
we for example see a bunch of useless IIS exploit attempts made on Apache servers in our global sensor arrangement we 
can through the utility delete all such alerts single-handingly over a number of IDS sensors where the alerts were 
found.


I am writing such a utility in C/C++ and Java. Need Help (Anybody have good Select Statements & such???) Perhaps to the 
developer of the Database Portion - if I cannot make autojoins in Mysql what are my options. 


Why didn't they develop snort to alternatively output packets & layers to a Database and based on the incremental 
counter of the DB input perform analysis with the detection engine, and support modular filter analysis to support both 
IDS & Network Centric routines?

EG: Use Snort's incredible decoding and libpcap development to show not only security but real in-depth analysis of 
network issues. Do this within context of a MySQL or Oracle DB and toss the file output...! 

Gruesse/ Kind Regards,
Ryan S.
