SuriGuard: A Open Source Graphical Interface for Suricata Logs- - Seeking Contributors and Testers

Hello Suricata Community,

This project aims to simplify Suricata log processing and make it more accessible to a broader audience, including network analysts, security teams, and even new users unfamiliar with command-line tools.

Current Status of the Project:
The core features of SuriGuard are fully implemented and functional, including:

Real-Time Monitoring:

Live visualization of Suricata events through an interactive dashboard.
Log Parsing and Filtering:

Advanced log filtering by source/destination IP, protocol, and alert type.
Data Visualization Reports:

Export Capabilities:

Generate reports in CSV formats for further use.
The project currently supports integration with Suricata via its EVE JSON output, providing a seamless way to process and analyze logs.

What’s Next?
To optimize and further develop SuriGuard, I am seeking contributors and testers to help with the following:

Testing: Identify potential bugs and provide feedback on user experience.
Feature Development: Collaborate on adding advanced features such as multi-user support, alert correlation, and additional data visualization options.
Optimization: Improve performance for handling large-scale logs and real-time data streams.
