<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

<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>
