Hi,

I’ve been trying to use the stats framework on PCAP but the logs were always off by several packets (depending on the size of the trace). The numbers match up when I moved the code

if (zeek\_is\_terminating() )  
return;

To the end of stats.zeek as follows:

Log::write(Stats::LOG, info);

if ( zeek\_is\_terminating() )  
return;

schedule report\_interval { check\_stats(nettime, ns, cs, ps, es, rs, ts, fs, ds) };

Can someone verify that this is correct? I’m wondering if this edit will mess with live traffic stats.

Thanks!
