clarification between barnyard2 and snort

[MLP SCADA <MLPSCADA () ci anchorage ak us>]

Hi Folks,

Trying to configure barnyard2 to work with snort.  Am passing familiar with snort.  Not so much barnyard2.


 1.  Is barnyard2 still considered good practice to use?  Is it a viable project, or is there something else folks are 
preferring to use now?
 2.  Does barnyard2 want to look in snort.log files?  Or in alert files?  Googling is not conclusive; have seen 
evidence of both, and some wild things also.

Thanks in advance!
