Argus Reporting Tool?

[jdurick]

kkadow:

I wrote that with good intentions (to stay with the development) some 
time ago but unfortunately, never kept it up.  You might want to check 
out ArgusEye at http://www.datenspionage.de/arguseye/.  It actually did 
alot of what I wanted to do when I was an  IDS analyst when we were 
primarily using Argus throughout our networks.  I initially wanted to 
hook into the raw argus output via perl bypassing the need to generate 
text output and then parse the output once the argus dumped each hours 
worth of data. The way I am doing it is terribly inefficient and was 
meant as a solution to help others get a high level view of what is 
going on in their network.  It was written using Argus 2.0.6 and you can 
find perl scripts within the argus source (contrib/) that might help you 
out if you want to hack something of your own. 

 I have not tested ArgusEye out personally but from the website, it 
looks like it has plenty of features that might help.
