Re: Only monitor high severity alerts

[Jeremy Hoel <jthoel () gmail com>]

Well, what are you using to monitor the alerts?

Also, if you can look at the large number alerts, they might
false positives (ie: port scan proccessor, or IPC$ from file servers to
clients), and that's where tweaking the IP variables and disabling or
threshold (by ip) rules comes in.
