I'm going to do is installing Base. Do I need to use

barnyard?

It's getting more better if you using Barnyard to 
processing the unified file format produced by Snort. 

Snort's performance will increasing greatly because
Snort didn't need more effort to processing its output
directly to database. Let Barnyard take that job ;)
Snort will be more focused to monitoring the traffic.

And with BASE you will get more advantage instead 
still using an old fashion Acid ;)

Happy snorting B-)

So, if by displaying just the sig-id in the
signature field, instead
of the name of the signature, this leads me to
believe that you are
using barnyard to read unified files and output
their contents into
the db.

What the problem is, is not a problem with base,
acid, or even Snort.
It's a misconfiguration in Barnyard.  You don't
have your barnyard
reading your correct sid-msg.map file.

Yep, for a first step it will be great if you
can
just use BASE instead. Just hit this following
link
to download the latest version of BASE:



http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/secureideas/base-1.4.0.tar.gz

There are two column named "signature" and
"sig_name"
on the "acid_event" table that contain the same
value,

signature ID (sig_id).

In this case, what Berta really want is, how to
display
the signature description on "sig_name" field
(not the

signature ID), CMIIW.

First, you should switch to BASE
http://base.secureideas.net.  ACID
has been dead for at least 5 years.

Second, do you mean that in the signature name
field
you have a
number, and not the name of the alert?  Or are
you
saying that you
want the description of the rule displayed
somewhere?

Please clarify your statement so that we can
make a
better helpful
suggestion.

I use snort+acid+mysql. When I display the
alerts
there is a
"Signature" column that is the signature ID.
I need the "sig_name" field (which is the
rule's
description)
instead of the sig_id. The problem is in the
"acid_event" table,
here there are "signature" and "sig_name",
both
with the same value,
the ID.
How can I do to get the description? there are
a
lot of files and I
don't know which one I have to modify.
