How to Use Throttle when using Swatch for duplicate email alerts

["Sudhakar Gummadi" <sgummadi () sitelite com>]

Hi,

I am using swatch to generate email alerts from the alert file comparing
the string  /priority: 1/. In some instances the same alert is generated
numerous times like 30 to 40 emails. 

I was wondering how can I specify using (throttle) for 10 to 15 min to
ignore if it the same alert. 

Any examples would be really helpful.

Thanks
SG

Either you didn't restart snort after you made the change, or you are
using a different config file than the one you edited.

Cheers!
