Martin,

I added topic "Snort Instant Alert and Instant Action". 

Thanks for any help,
Nick

I'll speak up regarding ELSA, as the open source project owner.  You can monitor logs (like Snort alerts) very easily 
for generic things like "trojan" or "exploit kit" or more advanced queries which mix proxy logs with Snort alerts to 
find correlated alerts like: "user_agent:java groupby:srcip | subsearch(sig_msg:trojan)" and then send that to a 
connector, like email alerts, which is built-in.  You can also easily write your own plugin in a few lines of Perl 
(or whatever language you want, then invoke from Perl) to do more advanced things, like shutdown ports, login to web 
apps, etc.  If you want, you can post your specific use case over on the ELSA mailing list 
(enterprise-log-search-and-archive.googlegroups.com) and I'll write the plugin for you.

You might want to check out ELSA and greylog.  We use greylog to get
emails from logs that go to it.  They are kind of  log viewers that
are both getting better.




WOTS (perl) and SEC (Simple Event Correlator) come to mind as well.
