No alerts in latest Crowdsec

[FullyBorked]

I was noticing I'm no longer seeing alerts in Crowdsec.  Anyone else noticing this after the latest update? 

I found a reddit thread with the same issue was just curious how wide spread this might be or if anyone knew why it might be happening.

Works normally for me.

Hi!

Unfortunately, there is a one-line change required to have crowdsec 1.5+ pick up logs in opnsense. The release was tested with regular files but not symlinks.

You may not notice if you have additional scenarios and agents that don't acquire logs from symlinks, which is why for some people it's working.

The change is in /usr/local/etc/crowdsec/acquis.d/opnsense.yaml, just after force_inotify: true:

poll_without_inotify: true

followed by "# service crowdsec reload" or restart from the GUI

The fix has been merged in version 1.0.6 of the plugin.

Anyone who requires it can install the patch https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/commit/b465377760 via:

# opnsense-patch -c plugins b465377760

(restarting crowdsec binary to pick up the configuration may be required)


Cheers,
Franco

Thanks for the quick patch.   8)

Pro tip: if you manually edited the opnsense.yaml file the patch provided by franco will duplicate the line you manually added and the service will fail to start.   ;D

Ran a Health audit and it shows checksum mismatches for os-crowdsec 1.0.5. Was this caused by the patch and will it clear itself on the next update? Also, if I am not running Zenarmour do I still need elasticsearch installed?

Thanks!

Yes. If you open the patch you can see these files are being modified ;)
