## What it is
Snorby is a Ruby on Rails web application for network security monitoring that interfaces with intrusion detection systems such as Snort, Suricata, and Sagan. It provides a dashboard for organizing, visualizing, and reporting on IDS alerts for private and enterprise use.

## Use cases
- visualize snort alerts in a web dashboard
- monitor suricata intrusion detection events
- build a network security monitoring console
- report on IDS alerts with pdf exports
- self-host an IDS alert management interface

## When to choose
- you run Snort, Suricata, or Sagan and need a web UI for alerts
- you want a free, self-hosted network monitoring dashboard
- you need organized alert reporting for enterprise security monitoring

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively developed NSM platform
- you cannot maintain a legacy Ruby on Rails stack (Rails 3-era dependencies)
- you want real-time packet capture rather than alert visualization

## Facets
