There is about a one hour delay from exploit attempt to snort alert…any ideas?

This happens with Suricata sometimes, there is some timeout value for sessions that don't get closed then the open 
session finally gets reaped and the alerts flushed out. Don't know if the same happens in Snort (or if you are 
running Snort or Suricata).

Depends on the set up of stream. I think by default it should purne after 120 seconds.
