I know I posted a question about portscan logs earlier, but I had a different question in regards to the current log 
that we are now using.  For the portscan log:
 
Time: 04/13-15:29:41.660134
event_id: 6042
x.x.x.x -> x.x.x.x(portscan) UDP Filtered Portscan
Priority Count: 0
Connection Count: 200
IP Count: 66
Scanner IP Range:x.x.x.x:x.x.x.x
Port/Proto Count: 32
Port/Proto Range: 137:17500
 
I am trying to determine the source port and destination port.    Also wanted to clarify for this line:  x.x.x.x -> 
x.x.x.x(portscan) UDP Filtered Portscan
That the first ip is the source and last is the destination.   We are needing those 4 pieces of information from this 
log.     Also is there anyway to obtain the flags from this portscan.     Thanks again for any help you can give.

Well, there are no flags for the above portscan, as it's UDP based.   

Aside from that, all the answers you seek on how to interpret this log are in README.sfportscan in the doc/ directory 
of the tarball, and are explained much more thoroughly than I could.
