[Snort-users] Difference of Alerts, Snort Logs, and Tcpdumps

Subject: [Snort-users] Difference of Alerts, Snort Logs, and Tcpdumps
Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:07:54 -0500
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?
Thanks,
Fritz
