I installed OSSIM 1.0.4 in 2008, and while pretty, the documentation was
impenetrable. Though I haven't put up 2.2 yet, there is a brief Linux
Journal article
(http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/alienvault-future-security-information-management
that looks like a possible starting point.

We have just set up a default install of OSSIM and first impressions are favourable -- what seems to be lacking is 
decent documentation -- presumably you get this when you buy the commercial version.

Does anyone have any notes/experience in using OSSIM with several different snort sensors that run different rule 
sets and need to be treated separately?

Or even for getting snort data in from sensors on other machines...
