Hi all, Is it possible to use different operating systems as a workers inside the same Bro cluster? I have a CentOS host acting as a Bro manager/proxy and 5 CentOS acting as a workers. Now, I need to add two FreeBSD hosts inside this cluster. I have do it a simple test in a VM environment, and CentOS manager has transferred Bro libraries and binaries to a FreeBSD vm configured as a worker inside the cluster. Is it possible to avoid this situation?? Thanks. ---

No, that's not supported at the moment. The OS must match on all cluster systems. Robin ---
