      I'm using 2.1 nano.  I run snort, which is working ok so far.  Why do I need to have RRD enabled? I thought RRD and nano was a "no no".  I just want a daily email of snort activity.  Maybe I need to go for the full install if I want to run snort…

        That's probably a remnant of when that package used to only support sending RRD files.

        RRD on Nano is fine, the RRD data is held in a RAM disk so it is only written to storage during a clean shutdown/reboot when it is archived. (Or if you setup a periodic backup)

          Thanks Jim. That answers my question. As long as I can run it on nano that's awesome.

            I just pushed an update to the mail reports package to get rid of that redirect (except on the page where you actually try to add an RRD graph…)

                No, I updated the package in the repository – you still have to manually go and nudge it to update from System > Packages.

                  Do you do that under "reinstall package"?
