Tim,

From the INSTALL including under the doc directory in each sguil tarball:

NOTE: By default, log_packets.sh is set up to have snort log EVERY packet on
the network. A bpf filter example is included in the script. Use bpf to tune
the amount of logging based on the available drive space. It is highly
recommended to create a seperate partion for logging data to. The sensor agent
reports currect disk stats to sguild, but the user is responsible for
deleting/archiving old data at this time.

Good thing diskspace is cheap :)

There is one issue of concern with sguil that may have an easy workaround.
It appears that the log_packets.sh script outputs enough data to the
/snort_data/dailylogs directory to fill up the entire filesystem in less
than one day.  There are options to write filters into this script and that
could mitigate a significant part of the problem but these filters could
take a substantial amount of work!
