it appears to be logging data again to base, 
so you are saying, wait 24 hours for new data to be present?
ic, your point about 1 hour, as most of the configs state 1 hour, 
however, when i first pinged server and ICMP hits were displayed on
base, it was instantaneous. so you see where i get my idea, that after
clearing a completely blank table, displayed data on base, and by
clearing tables, it wont display data quickly EVEN after i restart
services, or clear or snort.logs,alerts, or restart snort/barnyard2
processes. see my point?

i see yours. thanks.

just a test, i will clear tables, and close browser, come back in 1 hour
increments, and see if that is the issue, it takes an hour to input new
data after base clear table buttons have cleared. im assume there is a
switch in the configs to make it quicker. 

any idea of what that line or file name is, in /var/www/base-1.4.5/* ?
what keyword to grep for?

thanks!!

yes exactly, i believe that also to be a possible issue, as it will only
restart to send to mysql after in restart each piece of this pig puzzle.
although, sometimes, it will resend if i restart apache2, or snort, or
barnyard2 in random order...

maybe there's an automatic restart for the failing process and your attempts to 
force the issue and make it restart are confusing things? how long have you left 
it alone once you clicked on the [clear tables] button? 30 minutes? an hour?

i ask because one of the systems i work with has a similar feature... in some 
cases, it can take a day for the database stuffings to catch up and start 
providing some data...

REMEMBER: a feature is an undocumented bug. the first fix is generally to 
document it as a feature ;)
