mrtg-contrib: monitoring snort

[human]

Hello, I'm forwarding Debian bug ​http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=149682 :

""" Version: 2.9.17-4

I recently began to use mrtg to have pretty output from the snort IDS (which is able to output to snmpd), so it would be possible to use it to monitor the network load ,the activity of the firewall and Snort. I'm trying to do it myself and will send you if I succeed, but I don't know where to begin. """

for more complex monitoring tasks I would suggest using rrdtool as a basis. On www.rrdtool.org you can find good tutorials.
