Well database performance it's self is not a major issue. We are using
FLoP right now because the previous Security Engineer here convinced my
boss that barnyard was causing issues with us losing the Alerts, the
problem turned out to be related to tagged packets, but right now my
boss is unwilling to really let us do much in the way of switching
systems. We have multiple databases, for a varity of clients. The
main issue we are dealing with is some limitations and slowness that we
are seeing with reguards to BASE. The inital page takes a while to load
up, our db is about 40gb with over 11M rows. It takes BASE about 2-3
minutes to load up (on a good day). I have not been able to get sguile
installed and see how well that will work. We have tuned our rule sets
down very tight. We are only getting about 100 Alerts a day for our
largest clients.
As others have pointed out, this is an issue with BASE. I doubt - though it
sounds like others would be interested to hear - whether InodeDB will
improve performance any significant amount. Probably worth mentioning at
this point that I haven't used BASE (or any other PHP web-frontend to Snort)
since about 2004.
You could try Squert: http://squert.sourceforge.net/
Means a few changes to the db, but nothing difficult.
Maybe even Placid if you want to get away from PHP altogether:
