Description

I just recently notice that the rule_perf.log file has been repeating the exact same results for a rule alert. I have my yaml file configured to NOT append and I also have the json output disabled. The file is overwritten but always with 6 outputs of the same event. I also have Suricata 4.0.6 install on the same VM running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS without this issue.

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET $HTTP_PORTS (msg:"Testing Signature and Rule Perf"; flow:established,to_server; content:"/forum.ghp"; http_uri; sid:11111; rev:1;)

  1. rule profiling
    rules:
    1. Profiling can be disabled here, but it will still have a
    2. performance impact if compiled in.
      enabled: yes
      filename: rule_perf.log
      append: no

The outputs are not the same. They are each sorted by a different column. Not very useful with a single rule, but I think it's not worth adding an exception for just a single rule.

Well I'm an idiot. All I had to do was read the next few lines in the yaml file. Sorry about that and thanks for pointing it out.

  1. Sort options: ticks, avgticks, checks, matches, maxticks
    • * # If commented out all the sort options will be used.**
      #sort: avgticks
