[Oisf-users] Disabled console logging but Suricata still outputs messages

[Duarte Silva]

Hi all,

I have disabled the console output and enabled the file output, but while I'm 
starting suricata using a init script I still get output from it.

# /etc/init.d/suricata start
Starting Suricata IDS (suricata): 30/4/2013 -- 17:43:56 - <Info> - This is 
Suricata version 1.4.1 RELEASE
30/4/2013 -- 17:43:56 - <Info> - CPUs/cores online: 2
30/4/2013 -- 17:43:56 - <Info> - Found an MTU of 1500 for 'eth1'
                                                           [  OK  ]

The init script start function is the following:

start() {
        echo -n $"Starting $desc ($prog): "
        SURICATA_OPTS="-D -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml --pidfile 
/var/lock/subsys/$prog --af-packet eth0 --user suri --group suri"
        daemon $prog $SURICATA_OPTS
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$prog
        return $RETVAL
}

Output configuration in Suricata:

  - console:
      enabled: no
  - file:
      enabled: yes
      filename: /var/log/suricata/suricata.log

Thanks in advance for any tips, best regards,
