Description

A new socket UNIX command for analyzing PCAP files and sending the resulting logs to a UNIX socket instead sending it to an output directory as currently does would be great.

This way we can parse the whole log output in memory without touching disk increasing the performance analyzing PCAP files.

Cheers

I like the idea, but I don't see the team having time for it anytime soon.

Btw, as a work around you could configure most outputs to output to unix socket. It would be a different socket than the control socket though.

Victor,
How can I differentiate between logs of each pcap file?

I see, just specifying a relative UNIX socket name as the output log file
