The SnEP

The SNORT event processor (SnEP) scrapes errors from the SNORT system and sends them to a control and response module. The module interprets the errors as significant events, log messages, and SiteProtector™ alerts.

The SnEP

The SnEP (SNORT event processor) is an application that scrapes errors from the integrated SNORT system. The appliance interprets and reports these SNORT errors in the following ways:
  • The appliance 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 appliance logs the error to the system in Review Analysis and Diagnostics > Logs > System.
  • The appliance sends an alert to SiteProtector.
