NAME

       suricata-oinkmaster-updater - Run oinkmaster to update suricata ruleset

SYNOPSIS

       suricatas-oinkmaster-updater

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the suricatas-oinkmaster-updater command.

       suricata-oinkmaster-updater  is a shell script that run oinkmaster(1) to update suricata(8) ruleset.  The
       intention is to hook the call to this  script  from  a  daily  cron  job,  so  suricata(8)  rulesets  are
       automagically updated every day.

HOW IT WORKS

       The  default  Debian  configuration  will  run oinkmaster(1) with the config file /etc/suricata/suricata-
       oinkmaster.conf which is pre-configured to download the EmergingThreats open ruleset for suricata(8).

       When the download is completed, suricatasc(1) will be  called  to  instruct  suricata(8)  to  reload  the
       ruleset.

CONFIGURATION

       By  now,  the  only  way  to  modify  the  behaviour  of  suricata-oinkmaster-updater  is  to  modify the
       /etc/suricata/suricata-oinkmaster.conf file. Or modify the shell script itself.

       More options may be added in the future.
