Re: Snort to monitor several servers

Hi

If you want an application to controll the alerts for all those servers, take a look at snortfocus - snortfocus.org.
It's a mysql extension of the snort database.

With the php-gui, you can join servers to user groups which can control the alerts and set filters.

Jacob,
Wouldn't a possible solution be to install Snort on each server then have them all report to a central database? From your wording, it almost sounds like you're trying to provide protection to individual servers using a NIDS installed on each system. You may be better off using a HIDS like Samhain to provide individual system protection with NIDS at a few network choke-points, and centralize all of the logging using something like Prelude.

Is it possible to have a Nagios like setup of Snort?

We have several servers that all need Snort.
How could we solve this in an intelligent way?
