Wacky perfmonitor numbers

[Gary Richardson <gary.richardson () gmail com>]

Hey guys,

I'm currently testing out snort. My test box is a 1GHz P3 with 512MB
of ram. I'm monitoring a 100mbit port. It averages 4.5mb/s but does
peak up to the full 12mb/s.

This is a very untuned box. It's not what I plan on running with in
production, it's just for testing out the web interfaces and getting a
handle on our network needs. I totally expect to get packet lose with
this setup.

That being said, I don't expect perfmonitor to dump out numbers like this:

Snort Realtime Performance  : Fri May 20 11:04:38 2005
--------------------------
Pkts Recv:   177339
Pkts Drop:   18446744073709550519
% Dropped:   10401966896006828.00%

My perfmonitor directive looks like this:

preprocessor perfmonitor: time 300 file /var/log/snort/snort.stats
pktcnt 10000 console

I'm running snort 2.3.3, built from the src rpm from snort.org. It's a
RHEL4 box.

Also, is there a replacement for perfstats.c?

Thanks.
