I would say yes. That is a good starting point. However you may need to write your own rules as well for some specific things that you want to monitor. Remember, pre-defined rules don't do "everything".

Too fine, I would say: my sensor is informing of many alerts that aren't so, I mean, there are lots of false positives that I'm supposed to tune. That's my question: what does tuning mean? The way I see it is that I have to look at the alerts and change some things in the rules that triggered those alerts, so they won't bother me again. Is that a good point of view? Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
