RE: ACID with 2 archive databases?

That's what I do at the moment. But it would be more practicable to have
only one ACID instance to work with 3 or more databases.
Perhaps this feature will be there in the next version of ACID.

Is it a great deal to insert this feature in ACID? Unfortunately I've no
practical knowledge with programming php.

Maybe Roman can answer this questions. ;-)

Best regards
Michael



Would it be feasible/practical to setup multiple web server instances 
for
ACID, each with its own config files to tell it which databases to use? 
 For
example:

Acid instance #1 would point to the main/live db that snort uses, and a
false-positives database.

Acid instance #2 would point to the main/live db that snort uses, and 
the
'to be further addressed' database.

And then possible a 3rd instance of Acid would have the 'to be further
addressed' database as its primary.

It would be a bit confusing to be sure.

Well the need is there for sure, being able to work with "n" databases 
is
for sure something nice to have. Not only for your needs but a typical
3-tire (n-tire) inspection of alerts is something nice to have in large
deployments. I'll be glad to hear of any developments in this area.

Subject: [Snort-users] ACID with 2 archive databases?


Hi,

I'm using Snort 1.9.0 with ACID v0.9.6b22. I created an
archive database and use the ACID function to move the true 
alerts to the archive. 
All my charts an history comes from the archive database. The 
false positives stay in the snort database, because I don't 
want to delete them. Sometimes I'm not shure if an alert is a 
false positive and sometimes I need to check an old alert a 
second time. The problem is that we sometimes have more than 
one person working on the alerts in the snort database. And 
that is very difficult with thousands of old alerts in this 
database. Is it possible to use ACID with a second archive 
database (archive2) where we can move the false positives to? 
So that we've a snort database with only the new, 
unexamined alerts. We want to move the true alerts to the 
archive1 database and the false positives to the archive2 
databse. Has anyone done something like this or have a need 
for it too?

Any ideas?

Thanx for you help,
Michael
