Thanks for the info on OSSIM.  I'm actually aiming for something that senior
management would look at (I left that little detail out), so OSSIM is way
too much info for them.  However, it looks quite interesting to **me**, so
I'll be playing with it shortly.

I have used OSSIM and I liked it for the most part.  I did find that
with the traffic we passed it became overwhelmed and the hard drives
filed up in under a day (140GB) making it completely unresponsive.

You may want to make sure to partition off things such as your logs so
if you fill up the partition you can still access and operate the server.

Let me know how it works out for you, I was pulled off the project for
another of higher priority but should be back on it in a month or so.

thought this same thing and it is asked often ***

You might look into using OSSIM. It's great for aggregating events and
viewing them. It's pretty modular so odds are good you'll be able to
get what you're looking at plugged into it. It also has jasperserver
running within it, which let's you write reports pretty easily from
the data you've already got.

Hey all,
I've been asked to try to put together reporting for security related
issues
and items.  I've created a starting place for what I would like to
report
on.  I REALLY don't want to put all this into a spreadsheet and try to
maintain that.  I'd prefer some kind of dashboard which could pull
information from ticketing systems, scripts, etc to make at least some
of
the updates.

Does anyone know of an open source app like this or could be a decent
base
to start with?  And, rather than set this idea in stone, I'm open to
different ideas if someone has an alternative that they are using.

Thanks,
Jason
