[Oisf-devel] Suricata startup

[Steve Grubb]

Hello,

I am starting suricata in daemon mode using the suricata.yaml file provided in 
the tarball and get this:

Starting suricata: Warning: Invalid global_log_level assigned by user.  
Falling back on the default_log_level "Info"
Warning: Invalid global_log_format supplied by user or format length exceeded 
limit of "128" characters.  Falling back on default log_format "[%i] %t - (%f:
%l) <%d> (%n) -- "
Warning: Output_interface not supplied by user.  Falling back on 
default_output_interface "Console"

Suricata 0.8.1
USAGE: suricata
<snip>

First question, as a daemon....isn't this way too verbose?

Why does the project's config file produce these warnings?

Why did suricata fail to start up?

Thanks,
