I believe he was implying that you could configure Snort to send its logs via syslog to Zenoss. The syslog messages would then show up in the event log and could be mapped to the proper severity and converted into alerts. Unknown events can be mapped to new or existing events and you would eventually build up a viable Snort monitoring solution via syslog. This sounds quite useful and would make a great ZenPack once it's started, and other users could continue to supplement existing rulesets for event mappings.

Ok, assuming I can get the device ( Ubuntu running Snort) to send to Zenoss, what then?

In the last link, is there a Snort section, must have missed it?

not sure what to look for in the manual.


However, now I see how to configure my Cicso devices to send syslogs's.

TY.

But even then, what do I do in zenoss to make the data useful ( off subject)
