Initial Release of SAM Web Edition (Snort Alert Monitor Web Edition)
Posted by Sam
After a long hiatus a new release of SAM is finally available. It's an entirely new code base that is based on Ruby on Rails. Development will go much quicker and some of the features that I've been wanting to develop for years will finally be possible. If you've deployed any Rails apps you'll have no problems deploying this app. You can download the files at SourceForge.
This is a very early release so there are a couple of gotchas. First up there is no support for Postgres. This initial release is MySQL only. That will change in the next release. Second, there is no README file or help setting this app up. This will come as I get time. Third, the main project page won't be updated for a little while so screenshots and FAQ will continue to reflect the old version of SAM.
The swing based GUI is no longer going to be supported. All features that are currently in the desktop version will be available in the web edition and a RESTful API will be available so that future GUIs can take advantage of the web edition. This should also make integration with third party utilities such as Nagios, Dashboard widgets and other web portals very simple.
Leave a message in the comments section for additional features you'd like to see.
