Hello,

I’m attempting to use restrict\_filters to delete a bunch of network noise before Zeek attempts to process it.  
I’m not getting any errors and it appears to be working, but I’d like to see what the actual compiled filter looks like.  
Is there a way to inspect the installed filter ?

Thanks
