RE: Anyone using "Enterprise implementation"?

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

Chad,

Blanket statements like this should be avoided. If you don't have time to
make a clear and defined statement then it might be wise to bypass any
remark at all and leave it to someone that has the time.

I don't know postgres or I'd be happy to make a statement.

Is it possible to answer his question in some detail?

I wouldn't recommend using mysql in an 'Enterprise' environment for anything
that matters to you.   If your company already pays for oracle, you'll be
better off using that.   If not, postgres is a step in the right direction.

Hi,

I´ve been planning to deploy Acid+Snort+Snortcenter in an "enterprise"
scenario with about 10 sensors with GigE Interfaces and one managment
machine with mysql,apache, etc..

During my initial test Snort wrote about 6 Gig of information from
sensor to managment machine within 8 hours.

Not that I did not expect this but the mysql queries on the Acid console
take forever thus leaving the system completely useless.

I read the FAQ and also did some serious Googling to learn how to improve
performance but creating indexes and tuning buffers did not really help.

Is anyone out there using Acid+Snort+Snortcenter in an environment like I´m
planning to do?

How do you guys handle the huge data that is being written to the db?

Just wondering: just one sensor with GigE, sniffing on 3x100mbit is
generating
that much data, how does Acid+Snort scale when using with more sensors?

I could live with doing daily archives of the database but I´m afraid with
multiple sensorts I would have to switch to archiving every 12 or 6 hours.

Any solution or suggestion? Even links, faq´s and docs I might have missed
are
very welcome :)

Emre
