Found this

@bmeeks said in Snort | Unknown rule option: 'stream_size'.:

You most likely have a required preprocessor disabled.  Make sure the STREAM5 preprocessor is enabled on the PREPROCESSORS tab.  In fact, users should really never disable any of the default-enabled preprocessors unless they are very highly skilled with the operation of Snort.

Have never even been on that page. But fixed the issue by going to that page changing nothing and just hitting Save seem to work. Odd?

How exactly did you create the interface and when did you try to start it? Sounds like some initial configuration settings did not get set.
