[Oisf-users] Suricata Logs

[Andreas Moe]

With regards to Alan Santos reply. With 20 suricata instances, and the
posibility of massive amounts of events (everything that suricata can
produce) email is in now way, form or fashion a good choice. Saying that
this works for you since you are CSIRT is not a valid argument. This since
CSIRTs can be anything from a 5 man company having one guy who thinks he
knows how security / suricata / siem / irt works, to a coorparation with
500+ thousand employees.
