<p class="MsoNormal">I hope someone else has been using this feature and can lend me some advice. I tried to break out some sections of the Suricata.yaml file and had no luck. I wanted to have the network and port variables in a separate file. Networks change
and it would be nice to just push out a new vars section by script all my servers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I copied everything from “vars:” up to the next section and put that into its own file vars.yaml. In suricata.yaml I put in vars: include vars.yaml in the place it had been. That failed.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve also tried vars: !include vars.yaml – that was in the docs, but I wasn’t clear what was being negated or why. Either way, when I fire up Suricata (4.05) it gives all kinds of errors due to the vars not being defined.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does the included file following the vars: head need to have the same vars: heading in it ? Does the full path need to be part of the include statement? <o:p></o:p></p>
