Hi all,<br><br>First, I would like to wish a happy new year to all.<br><br>I'm having some doubts about snort statistics. I'm testing Suricata in a very high speed network and I would like to have statistics about performance (e.g.: drop rate).<br>
<br>The drop rate I'm using is the one printed when Suricata exists. But this is the Pcap statistics:<br>[10424] 5/1/2011 -- 15:21:14 - (source-pcap.c:429) <Info> (ReceivePcapThreadExitStats) -- (ReceivePcap) Packets 24902042, bytes 14643147733<br>
[10424] 5/1/2011 -- 15:21:14 - (source-pcap.c:437) <Info> (ReceivePcapThreadExitStats) -- (ReceivePcap) Pcap Total:117734236 Recv:71318162 Drop:46416074 (39.4%).<br><br>Does it means that it only regards Pcap? For instance, if I have a 39 drop rate does it means that Suricata analyzed 61% of the traffic? Or does it means that Pcap captured 61% of the packet and Suricata can still drop more?<br>
<br>Anther question is: can I have drop statistics without shutting down Suricata?<br><br>Thanks a lot,<br><br>David<br><br><br>
