Good Day! Setting up bro on freebsd and noticing that the script to create reports (/usr/local/scripts/site-report.pl) is generating empty reports. The reports contain the expected formatting but no actual data. Not sure if this is relavent but to run the script, I did have to make the change to the "summary\_only" variable as suggested here: [http://tracker.icir.org/bro/ticket/54](http://tracker.icir.org/bro/ticket/54) Here is an example of the script's debug feedback: hosta# /usr/local/scripts/site-report.pl -r 36 -d 3 report-start time: Thu Sep 24 00:00:30 2009 (1253750430) report-end time: Fri Sep 25 12:00:30 2009 (1253880030) Starting search for alarm files List of alarm files which are within the time range -\> /nsm/bro/logs/alarm.hosta.09-09-25\_15.58.20 Finished search for alarm files Starting search for notice files List of notice files which are within the time range -\> /nsm/bro/logs/notice.hosta.09-09-25\_15.41.47 Finished search for notice files Starting search for conn files List of connection files which are within the time range -\> /nsm/bro/logs/conn.hosta.09-09-25\_15.58.20-09-09-25\_15.58.20 Finshed search for conn files Starting processing of alarm files Finished processing alarm files Starting processing of conn file /nsm/bro/logs/conn.hosta.09-09-25\_15.58.20-09-09-25\_15.58.20 Finished processing conn file Generating report file: /nsm/bro/reports/my.domain.1253902342.90655.rpt Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
