@bmeeks said in Suricata Menu Missing Help!:

downloaded during the install process, but ONLY if that option was enabled on the GLOBAL SETTINGS tab and there is a non-null value in the MaxMin

Did everything you recommended and reinstalled Suricata and what do you know it appeared on the menu. Jeez, seems like some sort of bug that needs fixed so a noob doesnt have to spend awhile trying to fix it.

I also upped the tcp memcap, but damn i have it all the way up to 299108864 and it finally started error free. The box only has 128mb of memory.

After going through all that for some reason i ahve my box configured as a Raid 5 box with 4 - 4tb drives in it and im only seeing 1.9T free on the box, seems a little low for 8tb installed, i know the overhead with Raid 5 system but does freebsd utilize a lot more then i am aware of? I know i might never use all the space in it, just how the box came configured and it was cheaper then any applicance out there since i bought it used but i would think i should see a little more then 1.9TB out of the drive system, and everything is mounted on / i just did the recommended install when i set the box up maybe ill just leave it be since it seems to be running great now.

Now to dive into snort configuration since i have signed up for a free key just to start and configuring all my VLANs etc.. Me being a checkpoint firewall guy this seems just a robust as checkpoint ever did and cant beat the price..

Thanks a ton for your help, everything worked out great.
