You need to go to Logs/Alerts in the IDScenter and check the path to your logs directory. Maker sure the path is valid. After making sure the path is valid be sure to click the "Make Script", and "Load Script" buttons. Stop and re-start Snort for good measure. Also make sure you are running the IDScenter that came with the version of Snort you are running and not one that came with a prior version.
