RE: Snort ---> syslog

Spyguy,

When you select Syslog you get 1 line of alert and that line is limited
to a number of characters. You will get a lot more information from the
console manager you are using.

You can use spade to do correlations, and there are others.

You can send the Syslog to a remote Syslog server, and use Swatch to
email alerts, this is the way to do it, or use Swatch on the local
Syslog, but of course this is *nix specific. Swatch won't run on Windows
:(

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort ---> syslog

Anyone have any experience with snort logging to syslog?
I have a few questions before i 'try' it.

1) Are logs and alerts LACKING useful data that you would normally get
with 
regular snort logging?

2) Are you using any correlation tools like NetForensics or something
else?

3) Can you send syslog from multiple snort sensors to one syslog server
and 
run swatch? If yes, what do you like/not like about doing it this way?


Thanks in advance!
spyguy
