Alerts generated by snort are stored by one of three methods; as local syslog messages, remotely sylogged messages and in an alert file.

When the Local syslogging method is chosen, the destination log file may be selected.

When the Remote syslogging method is chosen, the IP address of the remote syslog host must be identified. Modifying the Facility field will determine how the alert is logged on the remote host.

When the alert file method is chosen, a daily analysis of the file can be emailed to the user provided in the User Name.. field. Note the you must also visit the Maintenance menu, Miscellaneous sub-menu, Outgoing Mail sub-menu in order to configure a mail forwarder.
