Details about updating IDS rules.

Error Message:  
Defect Number:  
Enhancement Number:  
Cause:  
Resolution:

Custom rules can be added directly to the /data/idsp/user-config/rules directory. The configuration will be applied during the next execution of the Suricata-Update tool. The tool is scheduled to be executed every hour. 

It is also possible to apply the configuration immediately by restarting the service via the:

sudo systemctl restart flowmon-idsp-suricata-update

When the service is restarted, the Suricata rules are generated to /data/idsp/rules and Suricata is reloaded via

kill -USR2 $(pidof suricata)
