New SIE customers typically get a tutorial session on how to read NMSG data, and I typically start by using nmsgtool presentation output to demonstrate. When they are ready to do script or C programming, I refer to the examples that come with the source and compare it to nmsgtool functionality. I typically download the latest source file (nmsg-$version.tar.gz) and extract the examples/ subdirectory. During installation it may be a good idea to have the examples/ subdirectory copied to a system documentation area like /usr/local/share/doc/nmsg or /usr/share/doc/nmsg so that they're available to reference without extra work.

It's possible that we don't need to install the examples/ if we know that github or some other online place will be available (for example: https://github.com/farsightsec/nmsg/tree/master/examples). Thoughts?

The same request would would apply to python-nmsg script examples and maybe Perl Net::Nmsg script examples, but I thought I'd try asking for nmsg first. If there's consensus that it's a good idea for nmsg, I'll reach out for the others.

Thanks,
Eric Ziegast
