Hi all,  
Sorry to trouble! Now I encountered a problem when I tries to implement a programme that is capable of communicating with Bro CLuster. The programme functions well when communicating with single Bro, but has problem when I installed the scripts to BroCluster.  
The Bro-end is something like:

@load frameworks/communication/listen

redef Communication::listen\_port = 49889/tcp;  
redef Communication::listen\_ssl = F;

global ping\_log = open\_log\_file(“alert”);  
global alert: event(t: string, id: string, sip: string, sp: string, dip: string, dp: string);  
redef Communication::nodes += { [“pingevent”] = [$host = 202.197.165.213, $events = /alert/, $connect=T, $ssl=F] };  
event alert(t: string, id: string, sip: string, sp: string, dip: string, dp: string)  
{  
print ping\_log, fmt(“Alert received, %s”,id);  
print fmt(“alert event recieved! %s %s %s %s %s %s”,t,id,sip,sp,dip,dp); }  
}

And the other end sends Bro events to the Bro-end.  
Now, the problem is while this script works well when communicating with single Bro which uses the command “bro”, but it has problems when I install them to the Bro Cluster nodes, e.g. local-manager.bro or local-worker.bro. My script and programme is listed in the attachment. Hope for help!! Thanks a lot!
