Re: Many Events in new SNORT box

[Alexander Zenger <azen () izb net>]

Hello,

if you're sure that you don't need any of the sniffed datas from the db, than
you can drop the hole snort database.
Therefor go on the mysql commandline of your db and type "drop database snort;".
But be really sure what you are doing. This will delete all datas logged.

Regards,

Alexander Zenger
