I don't appear to have the suricata.yml module. Am i missing something?
Installed ELK on a freebsd11.2 machine.
Have you installed the default distribution and not the OSS one? I believe this is required as the Suricatam module requires the free Basic license and is not open source.
I would have installed the opensource edition. How can i install the free basic license?
You need to first change to the default distribution which has the free Basic license as default.
