[Oisf-users] Processing threads vs Management threads

[Ale Fredes Hadad]

Hello everyone!

I would like to ask a (dumb?) question. I am learning about Suricata and
when I run it in IDS mode it shows that I have "all 4 processing threads, 4
management threads", so I understand that Suricata is using all the threads
that are available to do management tasks ( receive-, decode-, stream-,
detect-, verdict-, reject- and outputs-set). However, when I run Suricata
in IPS mode it shows all 6 processing threads but only uses 4 threads for
management. Why is that happening?
Thanks!

Regards,

Alexis Fredes
