Suricata Input Plugin

This plugin reports internal performance counters of the Suricata IDS/IPS engine, such as captured traffic volume, memory usage, uptime, flow counters, and much more. It provides a socket for the Suricata log output to write JSON stats output to, and processes the incoming data to fit Telegraf's format.

Configuration

[[inputs.suricata]]
  ## Data sink for Suricata stats log.
  # This is expected to be a filename of a
  # unix socket to be created for listening.
  source = "/var/run/suricata-stats.sock"

  # Delimiter for flattening field keys, e.g. subitem "alert" of "detect"
  # becomes "detect_alert" when delimiter is "_".
  delimiter = "_"

Metrics

Fields in the 'suricata' measurement follow the JSON format used by Suricata's stats output. See http://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/performance/statistics.html for more information.

All fields are numeric.

• suricata
  • tags:
    • thread: Global for global statistics (if enabled), thread IDs (e.g. W#03-enp0s31f6) for thread-specific statistics

Suricata configuration

Suricata needs to deliver the 'stats' event type to a given unix socket for this plugin to pick up. This can be done, for example, by creating an additional output in the Suricata configuration file:

- eve-log:
    enabled: yes
    filetype: unix_stream
    filename: /tmp/suricata-stats.sock
    types:
      - stats:
         threads: yes

FreeBSD tuning

Under FreeBSD it is necessary to increase the localhost buffer space to at least 16384, default is 8192 otherwise messages from Suricata are truncated as they exceed the default available buffer space, consequently no statistics are processed by the plugin.

sysctl -w net.local.stream.recvspace=16384
sysctl -w net.local.stream.sendspace=16384

	Delimiter string `toml:"delimiter"`

	Log telegraf.Logger `toml:"-"`
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Suricata is a Telegraf input plugin for Suricata runtime statistics.

func (*Suricata) Description

func (s *Suricata) Description() string

Description returns the plugin description.

func (*Suricata) Gather

func (s *Suricata) Gather(acc telegraf.Accumulator) error

Gather measures and submits one full set of telemetry to Telegraf. Not used here, submission is completely input-driven.

func (*Suricata) SampleConfig

func (s *Suricata) SampleConfig() string

SampleConfig returns a sample TOML section to illustrate configuration options.

func (*Suricata) Start

func (s *Suricata) Start(acc telegraf.Accumulator) error

Start initiates background collection of JSON data from the socket provided to Suricata.

func (*Suricata) Stop

func (s *Suricata) Stop()

Stop causes the plugin to cease collecting JSON data from the socket provided to Suricata.
