Re: Graphing Snort Data

Scott:

I've used the statistical package R (http://www.r-project.org) in conjunction with the RMySQL library 
(http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMySQL/index.html) to do similar things in the past.  In addition to having a 
rich graphing engine, R also allows for sophisticated data analysis and modeling.  It's not exactly a front-end to 
Snort, but I suspect you could develop a front-end to Snort fairly efficiently with R.

Subject: [SECURITY] Graphing Snort Data

Hello All

I am using Base to front end my Snort install and would like to graph some of the trends that I am seeing.  I was 
wondering if anyone had any ideas on either a different front end that can graph information in a useful manner or 
another graphing solution that I could use directly with the mysql database.

Thank you.
