Description

It would be better if suricata can read bpf filters from a configuration file instead of command line with the following format, for example:

"suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml -b /etc/suricata/bpf.conf"

And content for bpf.conf config file:

not (dst host 239.192.57.11 and dst port 5405) and
not (dst host 172.17.47.27 and dst port 5405) and
not (dst host 172.17.47.28 and dst port 5405)

Implementing this should be fairly simple. Code to load a bpf is already in place, so it's really about adding the command line option and reading the bpf from a file.

Great ticket to start getting to know the Suricata code.
