Look in the base config file (base_conf.php).  You will find these 
configuration options:

$refresh_stat_page = 1;
$refresh_all_pages = 0;
$stat_page_refresh_time = 180;

If 3 minutes is too long a refresh time for you, change it.

base is working, just not refreshing new data after clearing tables with
radio button on base gui.

not a biggy, it still logs after a short while, havent found exact times
though, but i would say less than 24 hours it will populate base gui
again. just odd...

BASE is a great place to start out. Maybe when you get everything working
properly then make the switch.

BASE is a viable option, it may not have a developer behind it right now,
but it's viable as a snort console.

Michael...

Hello all

just a test, i will clear tables, and close browser, come back in 1
hour increments, and see if that is the issue, it takes an hour to
input new data after base clear table buttons have cleared. im
assume there is a switch in the configs to make it quicker.

I've never personally looked for the option to clear tables in BASE
but I can say I use a script called archivesnort.pl which moves alerts
after 7 days to the archive DB and deletes them after 30.

If that is available with BASE I'd suggest you try that - i.e.
modifying the database outside of the web interface - if you can't
find it I can post it to the ML.

That's what we do and I've never seen the problem you're describing.

Alternatively, why not look at Snorby as a WUI - that has an inbuilt
option to trim(*) the database after a fixed number of events.

* - by trim I mean 'delete oldest events but not the entire contents
of the table' - I can't think of a better word.
