        If you have the checkbox set to turn snort alerts into clickable links, you don't get the short-format logs that the widget parser needs.

        That was the issue last time I reinstalled the package, anyhow.

              Then be sure you have the log output set to fast, not full.

                  Are you sure that you have single-line logs showing under the Alerts tab? The ones you pasted before are mutli-line and are the "full" entries, not "fast".

                  Also try unchecking "Associate blocked events" (or whatever that box is called)

                      Please be patient.

                      I have added code to snort-dev to parse snort fast and full logs.
                      The parsing was not easy.

                      I will add said code to the snort widget when I have time.
