I am new to snort and trying to upgrade a prior system. It appears that the old system collects Alerts, Snortlog.log and Tcpdump.log, however after reading the doc I am a little unclear on the meaning of these. Are the snortlogs basically uncompressed versions of the tcpdumps? Also are the alerts a condensation of the snort logs?
