A couple of days ago I was fixing the fortinet/fortigate with the kind help of a Swiss OSSIM user (thanks Mikael ;-) ) and I wrote this little piece of python in order to help me out with it. Now I'm using it a lot to debug plugins so I guess more people could benefit from this also :-)
And well, I'll paste a sample plugin debugging session in order to give ideas.
BTW, this assumes basic knowledge of regular expressions, check this Regexp Primer out if you want to refresh that knowledge. And BTW2, some log lines are broken for readability.

Well, kindof at least...

Since Apple's iPhone is basically a stripped down MacosX and it has some nice toys to play with, I thought I'd give the provided python port a try and fire up the OSSIM agent. As expected everything worked like a charm and getting ossim up & running was very easy. Here is the rest of it.

I thought I'd post a plugin tree I just hacked together here. It uses a javascript library and could be useful to someone.
I'm not posting the complete tree here since the page is about 1MB big.
