I would like to see these types of stats exposed via snmp.

wouldn't it be useful if it reported the packet loss ratio too?

Subject:      [Snort-devel] Added Statistics Patch
Hello everyone,

  I have made some patch files which give snort some real-time 
statistics 
information by use of calls to LogMessage and a hourly call via 
the alarm() 
function.  The tarball is a attachment to this email, btw.  This 
patch also 
produces a end total when snort exits out of daemon mode.

This tarball will modify three files in the Snort 2.3.0 Source 
Tree (snort.h, 
snort.c, and util.c) and produces output which looks like this in 
my /var/log/messages file:
