Re: event trigger/alarm

In Response To: Re: event trigger/alarm (Fernando Nunes)

" Too Many Messages " is NOT a good strategy to decide which are useful
for customers.

For any nontrivial IDS event ( e.g., add a memory segment..), it should
be good to allow users to be able to do some thing s/he likes. You can
define that event severity level as very low( or normal), but it is a
event that attract attention on resources usage.....

So.....
