Disk full with packet logs
-
I enabled packet logging in Suricata several days ago. Now my disk is full and I’m pretty sure this is causing it. I wasn’t sure how to view the logs in the first place through the GUI, and I can’t access the GUI now. Where are these logs so I can delete them via shell?

/var/log/suricata/

Thanks. That took care of it.
In the GUI, is there not an easy way to view/export the .pcap files that have been logged? -

It is the admin's responsibility to either view them using some CLI tool or export them off the box over to another server for analysis with third-party tools. The PHP system of the firewall does not provide a great programming environment for opening up and viewing large files.
