You need to modify your signatures. Take a look at which signatures are triggering 1000+ times and seriously look at them to see if you need them or if you can tune them so you don't get so many events. If you are getting that many events most likely you won't even look at them anyway, so it isn't much use to alert on them. Also, If this is the first time you are installing an IDS, you also might want to take a closer look at these events to make sure they are not legit. With all this worm activity, it could very well be a large amount of worm activity that is causing this. Good luck!

Hi, I´ve been planning to deploy Acid+Snort+Snortcenter in an "enterprise" scenario with about 10 sensors with GigE Interfaces and one managment machine with mysql,apache, etc.. During my initial test Snort wrote about 6 Gig of information from sensor to managment machine within 8 hours. Not that I did not expect this but the mysql queries on the Acid console take forever thus leaving the system completely useless. I read the FAQ and also did some serious Googling to learn how to improve performance but creating indexes and tuning buffers did not really help. Is anyone out there using Acid+Snort+Snortcenter in an environment like I´m planning to do? How do you guys handle the huge data that is being written to the db? Just wondering: just one sensor with GigE, sniffing on 3x100mbit is generating that much data, how does Acid+Snort scale when using with more sensors? I could live with doing daily archives of the database but I´m afraid with multiple sensorts I would have to switch to archiving every 12 or 6 hours. Any solution or suggestion? Even links, faq´s and docs I might have missed are very welcome :) Emre -- info () emre de http://www.emre.de UIN: 561260 PGP Key ID: 0xAFAC77FD I don't see why some people even HAVE cars. -- Calvin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
