Snort Alerts Widget problem

[hulleyrob]

After every upgrade of snort package i have to re-add to dashboard.

Is it just me or is this normal?

Thanks

Not normal.  It should automatically reinstall if there previously.  I suspect you have something going on inside your config.xml that is causing this.

Hmm would a reinstall wipe it out?

Might just put up with it for the effort of setting it up again  :(

Thanks anyway that's what i thought.

A reinstall removes it and puts it back.  For some reason, in your case, the "puts it back" appears to be failing.  It is removed because when Snort is removed, the widget is useless and can even cause errors because the underlying supporting package is gone.
