Snort IDS Logs

The Snort IDS item allows you to take a look at the Snort IDS security-related logs for your system.

The Snort Intrusion Detection System (IDS) analyzes traffic coming into your network looking for matches against pre-defined rules and performs actions based upon them.

If the Snort IDS is not active on your system the report shows something like:

                   Reports
empty Snort IDS was not activated yet

If the Snort IDS is active but no attacks have been tried on your system the report shows something like:

           Reports
empty No log available!

Some logs might not be immediately available due to system activity.

When Logs become available, clicking on the will show the Snort IDS Logs Summary window.
