Just ran out of space in queue - Suricata Crash

This is probably related to the problem I and several others have, possibly pointing to some rulesets growing massively and causing errors. I have to disable abuse.ch/URLhaus to start suricata.

I did get the same error as you during my trial and errors..


A few hours later, my box is able to load the list again but it takes 25 minutes to reload the rules so I expect suricata to come crashing down any day soon due to the size of the rule set. It could also be a temporary corrupt rule set at URLhaus that now is fixed.

Hi everyone,

the same issue here:

Any hints that could lead to the solution or workaround? Thank you!

Disabling of abuse.ch/URLhaus did help, but this is not a solution. By the way, I have plenty of memory available, in total 8GB RAM, and with URLhaus enabled still 35% Ram left free.


No :/.
For now when i start the suricata on one of my interface, the interface crash and can't communicate anymore...
I have to restart the VM to make it work and stop suricata.

How can I delete Surricata rules? I was playing with various sources and now have 217048 rules on the system, all set to Alert. Just want to delete them all and download only what I need.
Disabling alerting is really PITA as one can do only 1000 rules at a time. I prefer to delete them all and start from scratch.
