Description

A recent change to Zeeks configuration has casued it not to operate properly from the GUI where the logs are not accessible.
The problem is with the Zeek NSM -> Real-Time Inspection facility where I am presented with an empty list but the directories are populated with data.
Zeek looks like it's functioning properly at the OS level but the interpretation of the directory locations from the GUI are not being picked up correctly.
I've tried adjusting the ZeekControl Config -> Log Store Directory option but the issue was not resolved.

LOG ENTRIES
-----------
NOTICE The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/zeek.sh stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'Error: zeekctl option "spooldir" directory not found: /usr/local/spool'

NOTICE The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/zeek.sh restart' returned exit code '1', the output was 'Error: zeekctl option "spooldir" directory not found: /usr/local/spool mount: /proc: No such file or directory Error: zeekctl option "spooldir" directory not found: /usr/local/spool'

  • Status changed from New to Confirmed

I can confirm this behavior for the package. Seems the default directory doesn't exist and doesn't get created automatically.

Marking Confirmed.
