To enable the snort module for processing, these options must be configured to point to an existing snort MySQL database.

The console will connect to this database as needed to import snort events into the console for indexing and storage. The snort database is not altered unless configured to do so.

Database: This should be the name of the MySQL database which snort is currently using.
Username: This should be a valid user with permissions to access this snort database.
Password: This should be the password for the above user to access the snort database.
Host: This should be the DNS name or IP address of the snort database server. **

** If the database is on the same machine as the console. Use "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"
