grIDS
My network monitoring solution and tools that go along with it. This setup is designed to be contained in an all-in-one sort of system, but services can be separated into individual hosts if you have a higher load that requires more resources.
The goal for this project is to help people combine multiple open-source tools to have a useful network monitoring solution. Within this project, I'll also include custom scripts that help make this system even more useful.
Feedback, corrections, and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Reach out to me on Twitter or here on Github as an Issue.
Configuration Steps
To get started with configuring the system, follow the steps found in setup.md. Each of the sections walks you through the parts of building a working all-in-one IDS system.
