As a general recommendation for everyone on the list, Snort should never be logging directly to the DB.
Can you tell me why that is? I mean, surely directly accessing a DB doesn't introduce much latency/load *unless* it continually generates events? i.e. if a particular installation of snort only generates 1 event per minute, is there really any difference between snort->mysql and snort->barnyard? I could understand it being a problem if snort is having to queue up events while INSERTs are going on, but if that are spaced many seconds apart...? -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
