Daniel,

I'd be glad to help you out with this, however, this is a snapshot in time.  I'd do better if your turned on the 
perfstats preprocessor (search the snort.conf for perfstats).  That would provide me more detailed information.

Attached is a log of our snort stats at the end of a 24-hour period.  Anyone willing to take a look and point out any 
glaring problems?  Also, does anyone have a link to a guide to help me understand what all of this means?
 
We are running snort 2.8.5.3 on FreeBSD 8.0 (64-bit).  The box is a Dell Optiplex with a Core 2 Duo E8600 (3.33 GHz) 
with 4 GB of memory.  The sniffing interface is the built-on Intel Pro/1000.  The sensor is sitting outside of our 
firewall and our outgoing traffic peaks at about 20 Mbps.
 
Thanks a lot!
