[Oisf-users] See number of rules loaded?

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Hi John,

> Is there a way to see the count of rules loaded when Suricata starts?  I could swear I've done it before in the past but cannot remember how.  Not seeing anything stand out when I use --dump-config or the stats entries.

You can use the command socket via suricatasc (if you have permission to access it):

  $ sudo suricatasc -c ruleset-stats
  {“message": [{"id": 0, "rules_loaded": 89, "rules_failed": 0}], "return": "OK”}

Cheers
Sascha
