Before I troubleshoot my potential issues (no alerts), is my issue that I have OPNsense running in a VM?
I have enabled several rules( trojans, malware, and icmp) and generated traffic, but noting is showing under the alerts tab.
OPNsense: 19.7.4_1-amd64
VM Environment: XCP-ng 8.0.1
ISD/IPS is fine in a VM. Just make sure to follow the guide on disabling offloading.
All I am using are the snort categories given I have a subscription and I assume are not compatible? Below are the logs from IDS
suricata: [100156] <Warning> -- [ERRCODE: SC_WARN_FLOWBIT(306)] - flowbit 'file.msi' is checked but not set. Checked in 47593 and 1 other sigs

Not all snort rulesets work in Suricata. You may have hit one.
