When Malcolm captures live traffic by monitoring local network interfaces the Zeek and Suricata containers capture directly from the interface, but Arkime doesn't: instead, the
pcap-capture
container uses netsniff-ng or tcpdump to create a PCAP file which is then periodically rolled over and processed bycapture
in thearkime
container.The reason it's done that way is due to the requirement that
network_mode: host
is set for the ability to capture on an interface: with Zeek and Suricata we are just writing log files into directories that are then watched and picked up by other containers without direct signalling between them. However, Arkime can't do that because it needs to communicate with theopensearch
container to write the metadata directly. That container is notnetwork_mode: host
, so it can't communicate with it. In other words, there's not a way for a container to be bothnetwork_mode: host
and communicate with the internal OpenSearch container (at least not that I'm aware of).However, we now have a few different configurations that might not be constrained like that:
I'd like to look at creating a container that allows arkime capture to be run live and would write directly to the URL specified by the
OPENSEARCH_PRIMARY
environment variable. I'm thinking it would be very similar to how we have asuricata
andsuricata-live
,zeek
andzeek-live
container: we have anarkime
container that does the Viewer process and processes uploaded files, and then anarkime-live
container that is only going to be used in the few scenarios listed above.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
