  Hi Joel,

Surely I'm not reading it properly, but just checked the 2.4 section in the manual (fresh download) and I can't see the place were it states were to put the "configuration directives". The same applies for README.filter (CVS). In threshold.conf the first thing I see is that is deprecated so I didnt continue reading

It's both in README.filters, in threshold.conf, and the Snort Manual. What docs are you referring to that it's not in?

Thanks Joel,

I will do ASAP

My I suggest you explain that in the docs? You reference it's done the same way than in the past, but don't say what this is :D

In your threshold.conf file that is An include from your snort.conf.

Hi,
you can use this option in you snort.conf

-----
 event_filter \
        gen_id 0, sig_id 0, \
        type both, track by_src, \
        count 6, seconds 600
----

Take a look in the README.filters at snort source for more examples.


cheers

      Hi all,

      Im aware this is a basic question but Im a bit lost.

      I would like to limit the number of alarms sent to a Snorby
    system in
    a general way (not specific to a particular rule).

      Something like this:

      For a particular event send no more than 3 per minute AND 6
    per 5 minutes

      I want to apply this limit to ALL rules and events, thus
    wont get
    flooded by the same event many times in the same timeframe

      Of course this doesnt mean more events can reach the snorby
    box, but
    they will be different rules, not the same

      My I ask how to do this?
