21.7 adding custom rules to IDS doesn't seem to work

[nzkiwi68]

I can't get my custom IDS rules to load. I've rebooted, waited a day, etc. Perhaps when using Proofpoint ET ruleset it won't add custom rules??

Here my file "spamhausBCL.xml" and it's placed in usr/local/opnsense/scripts/suricata/metadata/rules/spamhausBCL.xml

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ruleset>
    <location url="https://pub-api.spamhaus.org/api/snort/" prefix="spamhausBCL"/>
    <files>
        <file url="https://pub-api.spamhaus.org/api/snort/?account=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&key=yyyyyyyyyyyyy"
              description="Spamhaus Botnet Controller List"
              documentation_url="https://www.spamhaus.org/bcl/"
        >spamhausBCL.rules</file>   
    </files>
</ruleset>

Any ideas?

[Fright]
