I do hope someone with the equipment and knowledge can figure this out.. a few of us really are stuck owning netgate hardware.
You have the equipment and likely as much basic knowledge of what's wrong as anyone else at the moment.
-
Start by simplifying your setup. Turn off all blocking, save the changes, then attempt to start Suricata.
-
If that fails, save a
config.xmlbackup and then uncheck the "save settings" option in Suricata (on the GLOBAL SETTINGS tab) and remove the package under SYSTEM > PACKAGE MANAGER. -
Start over with a clean slate: no blocking and a default configuration. See if Suricata starts and runs then.
-
Next, add your rules archives back (or some of them), update the rules, enable a few, and see if you can still start and run Suricata.
-
Somewhere in the above chain you might stumble upon the "where it breaks" point. If not, then restore you previous
config.xml(just the PACKAGES portion) to bring back the original Suricata settings. See what happens then when starting.
If it works fine with a clean slate, then you will know it's something in your configuration. If it fails to start with a nearly blank default setup, then it's some hardware issue (unlikely, but not impossible).

@bmeeks This issue is resolved after completely removing any existing configuration, removing the surricata pkg, rebooting the router, reinstalling surricata and setting up a new configuration.
unsure why we'd have to iron-fist the pkg and configuration however..
Kind Regard

Because among the thousands of users of the package there are countless variations in the configurations. Also countless variations in the hardware the package is being run on. That means there are lots of places for something to get sideways. There is no physical way to test all those differences. I can only test on what hardware and configurations I have personally. This is a volunteer created and maintained package. No relation to Netgate at all.
In my many years of maintaining the Snort and Suricata packages I've seen users do some mighty weird things in their configurations - usually by operating under invalid assumptions and making configuration decisions from those faulty assumptions. That might have been your issue, or it may simply have been a random cosmic ray from space altered some RAM cell value
.Take the fact pfSense runs perfectly fine for the vast majority of users, and they easily apply each incremental upgrade without a single hitch. I've never once experienced a single problem updating my pfSense firewalls all the way back to the 1.x RC series. But a handful of others post here with problem after problem with almost each and every pfSense update. Who knows why they have issues???

@bmeeks I appreciate everyones help
non-netgate hardware pfsense users aren't getting:
-> Default optimized configurations for Netgate hardware appliancesCould it be the single reason in this case?.. pf+ is a different beast!
Didn't intend a flame war.

No flaming implied
.I will admit it has become increasingly difficult to create and test both the Snort and Suricata packages now as all I have for test platforms are CE environments. I have an SG-5100 for my personal network, but it's production and I install no packages on it. And no, I no longer run any IDS/IPS on my personal firewall and have not for more than three years due to the reasons I stated up above in a previous post in this thread.

How can Netgate or any other company can deliver "optimized configurations" for infinite combinations of hardware setups? I run a pfSense+ on a whitebox myself, and I have to optimize it myself, or I ask the devs here.

Yes. What kind of hardware are you using? Specifically, what is the CPU type and architecture?
Hyperscan is enabled by default in the build options for pfSense. In the past it has not been an issue. There is an outside chance that the hyperscan library is not correct on your system following the update. But that's just one guess.
I would start by removing the package, rebooting the firewall, and then installing the package again to be sure it pulls down all the correct shared libraries. Netgate experienced a prolonged outage at their primary data center last night according to a post elsewhere on the forum. It may be you were affected by that depending on where you are located in the world and how "day time working hours" at your location corresponded to the overnight Netgate network outage.

No, I don't have the current versions to share with you. If it is running fine, then I suspect a library version was the issue with Hyperscan. I'm pretty sure there was a recent new build of that from Intel.

@xpxp2002: I also see in your system log snippet that you appear to be running on a Hyper-V instance since the interface name is
hn5. Your issue might be a problem with Hyper-V settings or an incomplete installation as another user experienced.I would start by removing the Suricata package, rebooting the Hyper-V virtual machine running pfSense, and then install the Suricata package again. It will remember and recover your existing installation settings.

@bmeeks Interesting. I didn't realize that interface naming was specific to Hyper-V.
I initially upgraded from 23.05.1 before the outage overnight, and aside from this Suricata issue, everything went smoothly. Been running the same Suricata config here for years.
I did try a reinstall and a reboot separately yesterday, but neither helped. I'll try those steps as you suggested in that order once I can take another quick outage tonight.

Yep. Interfaces named
hnin FreeBSD denote Hyper-V virtual NICs. Other users have reported problems with the latest pfSense versions on Hyper-V. I did not read and digest every post, but I do recall seeing issues posted. I think it mostly has to do with the latest FreeBSD 14-CURRENT kernel, but it might also be a quirk with a package like Suricata that has to talk to the NICs. -

Can confirm that suricata has now been working all day for me.
Fix was to remove the suricata package, reboot, and reinstall the suricata package.

I performed these steps tonight, but after the reinstall Suricata still cores when run in blocking mode.

It very well may be a problem within the Hyper-V host. In some of the previous posts I read some folks fixed issues by swapping the type of virtual machine if I recall correctly. Maybe changing from Generation 2 to Generation 1 or something like that ???
I don't run Hyper-V but use VMware instead. There is a history of various issues with Hyper-V and FreeBSD guests.

I am also running on hyper-V and had no problem.
But now with another VM on 2.7.1-RC I have that problem (Legacy Mode). It is running on proxmox (which runs on hyper-v). The Available Packages list is empty right now so I can not reinstall Suricata. Will do it ASAP.Edit: Doesn't help in my case, will retry with a fresh config. But now the list is again empty...
Noticed a download problem with the SID mgmt lists in both, it will give me a 502 error, bad gateway.
Edit: Fresh install without using old config seems to work so far.
