Exporting Policies to Desktop / Folder 
Hi Jeff,

Me again :P

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to IDSPM to allow the user to export a sensors policy to the desktop or folder in the same fashion as what IDSPM copies the files to the sensor?

i.e. Export Policy to Folder -> exports the policy to a folder that the user can specify. The the user can zip (or if Jeff adds a feature that will auto-zip :P) the rules and copy them via sftp or other method to the sensor.

Thanks

Craig

Re: Exporting Policies to Desktop / Folder 

yea.. I have been thinking about this for some time.. but I wasn't sure how to go about doing it though. I think you inspired me and gave me some ideas. How does this sound?

Export form that has an option to select the output format. The available options are:

  • .zip keeping directory structure
  • .tar.gz keeping directory structure
  • .zip all files in a single directory within the file
  • .tar.gz all files in a single directory within the file
  • single file snort.conf export

The problem is there are limitations to any one export option. I think these should cover the gamut and provide an export option that can work for just about everyone.

This is on my to-do list for the next release. A beta will be out probably after the beginning of the year.

Cheers,
Jeff
