[Discussion] Suricata Packets Per Second metric

[Dan Groen]

Good questions.  Yes, I have compiled with '--enable-profiling' as well as without.  stats.log  and packet_stats.log are both enabled in the suricata.yaml file.  These two files give me a good breakdown of the number and type of packets which have been processed, but I have not found any information about performance or packets per second.Just for background:  I am trying to optimize packet processing through the GPU.  To test, I am pushing a large packet capture through the system.  I can derive a rough estimate of packets per second but it would be easier if there were an internal statistic which gave me Suricata's opinion.Thanks.

Did you enable the stats file in the suricata.yaml? Also when you build suricata use this flag  --enable-profiling   (I think this is the one I used)   From: discussion-bounces at lists.openinfosecfoundation.org [mailto:discussion-bounces at lists.openinfosecfoundation.org] On Behalf Of Dan Groen

Subject: Re: [Discussion] Suricata Packets Per Second metric   I am interested in looking at the number of packets per second that Suricata has processed but have not found this metric listed in its output.  I have checked the log files, alert files, etc. There are multiple papers online which list pps or packets/second, so my suspicion is that i am missing something obvious.  Could someone direct me to the appropriate data set? Thanks.
