you only need to install the other tools and ensure that they can find your 
snort's unified2 output file which you need to configure in your snort.conf... 
those tools, like barnyard2, will take the data from the U2 (unified2) log file 
and insert them into the database... whatever database you choose to use and 
that they support...

also, please remember to start your own thread/topic by using the "write new 
message" option instead of replying to someone else's thread/topic... this way, 
you don't hijack their discussion and it makes it easier for others to see your 
discussion... some of us will block/filter/ignore certain topics after a certain 
time and if you try to tag along on that topic, your posts will be missed...
