The SnEP

The SnEP (SNORT event processor) is a an application that scrapes errors from the integrated SNORT system. It interprets and reports SNORT errors in the following ways:
  • The SnEP generates a significant event in Monitor Health and Statistics > System > Significant Events. The SnEP identifies the event as [SNORT ERROR] and SNORT dictates the error message string.
  • The SnEP logs the error to the system in Review Analysis and Diagnostics > Logs > System.
  • The SnEP sends an alert to SiteProtector.
