Hi ubernewbie,
I tried the "freeword's toolset" (snort, base, barnyard2, mysql, oinkmaster) that was a wonderful journey. :-)
What I did is already ready here as well in one image:

Regards,
Akos

These are definitely great books. I recommend every shop I'm in keep
copies on the shelves as references and for Jr. Analysts or those that
don't come from a Network Security Monitoring background. Nowhere
else that I'm aware of really spells out what NSM is and how to do it
right like Bejtlich's Tao.
