I had the same problem connecting Snort to a trouble ticket system. The
simple solution (in my case) was to place the trigger on the iphdr table and
lookup the associated event information. There's a one-to-one correspondence
between event and iphdr, in this version anyway.

Does someone know how I can change the order that the tables 
are written to 
in postgres?  I am trying to set up a trigger.  The problem 
is that the 
trigger needs to see the new data inserted into other tables 
right after 
the data is inserted into the events table.  The problem 
seems that the 
trigger has to exit its program before data can be written to 
other tables 
besides event.  So I can't do lookups in iphdr for the ip_src 
and ip_dst 
that go with that event, because the data won't be there till 
the trigger 
program is finished. The trigger  is set on the event table.  
Maybe you are 
thinking this is a trigger problem and I should ask a 
postgres guru, yet if 
I could make snort write to the event table after writing to all the 
other   tables I wouldn't have this problem.

Thanks
