Hi, I have installed a snort sensor on a Pentium III 733MHz to monitor 3 C class traffic, but I see everytime cpu usage 100% is it possible? On this machine I have two processor but snort use only one processor, is there any way to use two processor?
To get snort to use 2 cpus, you have to run 2 instances of snort. It is not multithreaded. You might try running 2 class Cs on one snort instance and 1 on the other and see how it goes. How much traffic are you seeing? What is the rough breakdown between ports/protocols? -- Chris Green <cmg () uab edu> "Yeah, but you're taking the universe out of context." _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
