Hello,

                Can you give an idea of what you are thresholding?

Thresholding has been deprecated in favor of detection and/or event filtering. You may be able to use those two methods 
instead.

You can also see some information on them in the README files.

Subject: [Snort-users] Thresholds

Is there a rule of thumb for how many threshold suppressions or limits should be in place in threshold.conf ?

I'm up to almost 500 lines in my suppression config; but looking to make it 4-5x.

Any performance issues to be aware of? I sent a similar request a month or so ago; didn't hear anything back; not sure 
if it wasn't worded correctly.

Thanks,
