The Snort Intrusion Detection System (IDS) item allows you to take a look at your system's Snort IDS security-related logs.
The Snort IDS analyzes traffic coming into your network looking for matches against pre-defined rules, and performs actions accordingly.
If the Snort IDS is not active on your system, the report will show something like:
Reports empty Snort IDS was not activated yet |
If the Snort IDS is active but no attacks have been attempted on your system, the report will show something like:
Reports empty No log available! |
Some logs might not be immediately available due to system activity.
When logs become available, clicking on will show the Snort IDS Logs
Summary window.
