Yes I am familiar with the stig. What you need is a disk space monitor
that will tell you that.  Snort doesn't monitor harddrive space.

Also, you should really think about not running Snort on Windows.

Thanks for the quick reply J. Has anyone heard of a DISA STIG? One of these
DISA STIG calls for " NET0386 - FW or IDS must alarm at 75% log capacity".
So I was wondering if anyone has had to work with this?

Thanks,
Kevin

Well, you can't Kevin.

What you can do, however, is write to unified and have Snort automatically
roll the size of the file over when it gets too big.
Snort does not monitor disk space.
