Re: Log vs Alert

["John Deagan" <johndeaganaka () hotmail com>]

How about this?  I want to write alerts to the database but nothing at all 
in text.

output database: alert, mysql, user= password= dbname= host=
output log_null

This will make it so I dont have to worry about that damn 
/var/log/snort/alert file.  But this
output database: log, mysql, user= password= dbname= host=
output log_null

Doesnt seem to work, /var/log/snort/alert still appears and gets big and 
slows down snort.  Why does this work for output database: alert but not 
database: log?
