I tried to use OSSIM in the past without much success.
The installation was horrible and it lacked some of
the options I wanted (like being able to easily modify
the code and configure it for my company "special"
requirements).
Since our main concern was with log correlation (from
syslog and snort) we ended up writting our own
perl/php code to handle that.
Lately we have been looking again for an open source
SIM solution and we found OSSEC (ossec.net) to be a
very good solution. It has a very good syslog
correlation and it also supports snort and fw logs.
On the negative side, it does not have a web
interface (but we are doing that by ourselves).
thanks. Mark
