Description

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to make Suricata log in active mode so that we can just view the logs without actually saving the logs using a command like below:

tail -f /var/log/suricata/fast.log

tail -f /var/log/suricata/drop.log

The logs produced are really enormous and within 24 hrs of running Suricata, the logs were about 2GB.

Please help in this regard

Using unix socket options for the outputs this can be achieved. There is a simple demo script to get the logs this way. It's in the source tarball: qa/sock_to_gzip_file.py
