Yes, I think you can. Anyone please correct if I am wrong. You can limit
file size by using unified output plugin.

/---

# unified: Snort unified binary format alerting and logging
# -------------------------------------------------------------
# The unified output plugin provides two new formats for logging
# and generating alerts from Snort, the "unified" format. The
# unified format is a straight binary format for logging data 
# out of Snort that is designed to be fast and efficient. Used
# with barnyard (the new alert/log processor), most of the overhead
# for logging and alerting to various slow storage mechanisms
# such as databases or the network can now be avoided. 
#
# Check out the spo_unified.h file for the data formats.
#
# Two arguments are supported.
# filename - base filename to write to (current time_t is appended)
# limit - maximum size of spool file in MB (default: 128)
#
# output alert_unified: filename snort.alert, limit 128
# output log_unified: filename snort.log, limit 128

Hi,

I wish to log traffic using snort, Im using snort -debD.
I would like to limit the file sizes, so I can transfer them over
network. f.e. configure the snort to rollover files, each one 50MB.

can it be done ?



Thank you,
-Z
