You can do a kill with -SIGUSR1 and then pull some basic stats from the messages file but Snort really wasn't designed to do this, try NTOP (http://www.ntop.org/) you might like the additional information that you can get.

Since I'm using snort to capture nearly everything that enters and exists our network, I was curious to see if there was a utility to show network metrics based on that data. Google didn't find much (or I asked the wrong questions) and Ethereal is choking on the large dataset, so that's out. I'm mostly interested in effective thruput, percentages of TCP/UDP/ICMP data, breakdown of traffic by protocol, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
