Snort3 does not use config sections

[oleg gv via Snort-users <snort-users () lists snort org>]

Hello,

snort3 does not use config sections which read from config file  (-c
snort.lua).

But when using cmd line - all is ok. So I can load rules only by -R option
, and not by ips = {...} section.

My config:
require("snort_config")
HOME_NET = "any"
EXTERNAL_NET = "any"
dofile("/var/lib/idsm/support/snort_defaults.lua")
dofile("/var/lib/idsm/support/file_magic.lua")
gtp_inspect = default_gtp
file_id = { file_rules = file_magic }
wizard = default_wizard
binder = .... skipped
references = default_references

classifications = default_classifications
daq={}
daq={ module_dirs = { "/usr/local/lib/snort_extra/daqs",
"/usr/local/lib/snort/daqs","/usr/local/daqm/lib/daq" },
RULE_PATH = "/var/cache/snort/rules/"

BUILTIN_RULE_PATH = "/var/cache/snort/builtin_rules/"

PLUGIN_RULE_PATH = "/var/cache/snort/so_rules/"

WHITE_LIST_PATH = "/tmp/whilte.txt"

BLACK_LIST_PATH = "/tmp/black.txt"

daq.input_spec="ethernet1"

alert_full = { file=true }

ips = { enable_builtin_rules = true,

        rules = [[

                include $RULE_PATH/my.txt

        ]]

}

BUT when I specify rules in cmd line ( -R ) it reads it. Snort write to
syslog at start, that it read my rules:
