RE: Any HOWTO for merging separate snort IDS's into central DB?

[Benjamin Hippler <benjamin.hippler () siemens co ae>]

hi,
i have currently 3 sensors (will become more) for 4 C nets logging into one
central MySQL DB and works fine. Why do you still want to write the
logs/entries locally? if you give all your boxes the same mysql hostname to
write the logs you dont have to merge all your stuff afterwards.

or maybe i got you wrong on what you want.
