When a bro script detects something, how can you go

You have to handle that either outside of Bro, or use something like
netcontrol to change your network settings (if appropriate).
Following up with that what is the best practice to
analyze the packet
captures from Bro to determine if there is an actual issue? I am
currently looking into Splunk as a log parser.
There is a wide variety of tools used for the job, but Splunk is certainly
popular. Others just operate directly on the logfiles; an ELK stack might
be another solution.
