-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
The current deficiency in the existing web front end is that it does not access data from the database but instead parses log files. This means that every time you query that data you have to parse the entire file. Utilizing a database is much more efficient for such reporting. In a previous life I was a web application developer and so I started writing our new code from a traditional MVC model so that it could incorportate any back end you wanted. I think the existing WUI was designed to present OSSEC data via the web rather than provide a querying interface. Justin C.
