Hi Dan, You can make snort log to both syslog and a MySQL database. Syslog alerts can be emailed and the will be wiped out eventually, when logs are rotated, so no overhead there. I'm not sure how much this affects performance, but have tested it this way and have not noticed a significant degradation. Regards, Omar Herrera
-----Original Message----- From: Dan S Baxter [mailto:Dan.Baxter@ipaper.com] I'm setting up a Snort sensor in our environment and I am unable to determine how I might get emailed on alerts. I understand some are using Swatch, but we are not logging to syslogs but rather to a mysql db. What are others doing in this case? If I can't get it to alert me, it doesn't do me as much good, as I do not have the time to watch it 24/7.
