broctl - interactive shell for managing Bro installations
broctl <command>
broctl is an interactive interface for managing a Bro installation which allows you to, e.g., start/stop the monitoring or update its configuration.
Before actually running broctl you first need to edit the broctl.cfg , node.cfg , and networks.cfg files. In the broctl.cfg file, you should review the broctl options and make sure the options are set correctly for your environment. Next, edit the node.cfg file and specify the nodes that you will be running. Finally, edit the networks.cfg file and list each network (see the examples in the file for the format to use) that is considered local to the monitored environment.
Commands provided by plugins:
