I posted this to the SO list, but haven’t received any responses, so wanted to post here too.

Anytime I need to reboot my SO box, Bro tries to start normally but then terminates and I get crash alerts. They seem to point to something with the cluster layout, but I’m not sure how to fix it or why it started.

I usually need to a couple rounds of broctl deploy, kill bro, then do the same and it eventually starts fine.

This Bro 2.4 under Security Onion

See the crash log below–any ideas or help is much appreciated
