Thank you it worked.

I had to combine both solutions to make it working, so my sysconfig file(this file is called into the systemd unit file) is:
OPTIONS=”-i <IFACE1> … -i <IFACEN> --user suricata”

And my suricata.yaml is like you wrote it.


Regards.

Hi Gaetan,

are you passing interfaces via command line or via config file?

Cause if you use a config file it should be pretty easier to setup multiple interfaces. I suppose you are using AF_PACKET, you just have to keep in mind to use different "cluster-id" for each interfaces:

af-packet:
  - interface: eth0
    cluster-id: 100
  - interface: eth1
    cluster-id: 101
  - interface: ethN
    cluster-id: 102

Then you should run:
suricata --af-packet -c <path-to-config>

Regards,
Davide

Hello,

I’m trying to make suricata sniffing onto 4 ifaces, but when I put several –i <IFACE NAME> into /etc/sysconfig/suricata (CentOS), I can’t run suricata and get following errors:

21/8/2018 -- 14:09:03 - <Warning> - [ERRCODE: SC_WARN_PCAP_MULTI_DEV_EXPERIMENTAL(177)] - using multiple devices to get packets is experimental.

I saw this old link https://lists.openinfosecfoundation.org/pipermail/oisf-users/2015-November/005412.html but my ifaces are configured  and if I use them one by one it’s working.

Cordialement.
