Larry, I heartily endorse suggestions by Jeff and Joel to use Barnyard. It is a tragedy that so many configuration guides and books neglect this important aspect of running Snort with database support. If you have the option to test your configuration on FreeBSD or NetBSD, you might want to gather per-process packet loss metrics using bpfstat. I tested it on FreeBSD 6.0 recently. [0] I don't know of an equivalent way to collect the same sorts of data (in similar formats) on Linux. If anyone does, a reply here would be helpful.
