BASE/AAnval MySQL dbase management

[John Hally <JHally () epnet com>]

Hello All,

I'm curious as to how people are managing the mysql backend data that snort
reports.  I've been mulling over adding syslog entries to the mix, but with
the amount of denies I see at the borders/firewalls, the database is going
to get unwieldy pretty fast.  Not being a DBA but knowing enough to get
things up and running, is there any 'canned' scripts out there to help me
out? I'm thinking along the lines of possibly archiving daily/weekly, having
the dbase drop entries older than X, or something to that effect.  

Thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks!
