Yeah, just like cmg (I saw that in the manual but didn't know what
"cmg style" was) but to a text file.  I guess I could always parse
stdout but I was hoping for a cleaner way.

Thanks a lot Joel.

this?  I'd rather not have to log alerts to one file and pcap to
another and then attempt to merge them.  Also, I'd rather not log to a
DB or use unified2 and then have to parse unified2; I'd like this to
be something I can just configure a sensor to do out of the box and
not have to install a bunch of other packages.  I'm not expecting it
to be efficient or use it in production, just something to make
testing easier. I thought there would be an easy way to do this ... am
I missing something here?



Something like "-A cmg"?
