Question about Sguil

[Matt Martin <MMartin () jwpepper com>]

Hello All,

I am currently using BASE as my frontend for Snort. But I get errors when clicking into lots of stuff on the GUI, so 
I'm looking into other GUI frontends for Snort. Not to mention mostly every time I click on an "Alert", when the page 
loads in the browser it just says in red that "Alert Deleted"... Don't know why would it be deleting alerts...

But anyway, I came across Sguil which seems to be a pretty popular choice amongst GUI frontends for Snort. But I am a 
bit confused by the installation process, so I was hoping someone could explain this question below for me...?

I downloaded the most recent version of Sguil (*Sguil Version 0.9.0). And reading about the installation process on a 
number of different sites I am still confused by the Client/Server/Sensor architecture of it. I currently have my Snort 
installation, along with Barnyard2, MySQL, BASE and Oinkmaster all on the same server (*I downloaded PulledPork because 
I heard good things, but still need to install it and replace Oinkmaster...). I have had Snort running now on this 
server for a few weeks and it seems to be going well, except for the frontend...

So since I have Snort all contained on a single server am I supposed to install Sguil Client, Server, and Sensor on 
that server as well? If I want to use it simply as a frontend to Snort, do I need all 3 of those? I couldn't find any 
installation docs for Sguil for when Snort and it's MySQL Database are on the same server. All the docs seemed to be 
for "split" Snort installations, i.e. across multiple servers...

Could anyone explain to me those 3 different parts to Sguil? And whether or not I need all 3 of them installed?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks in Advance,
Matt
