3. Command Line Options¶
The majority of controls for Meer are within the meer.yaml
file.
-
-d
,
--daemon
¶
This option tells Meer to fork to the background.
-
-c
,
--config
¶
This option tells what configuration file to use. By default Meer uses
/usr/local/etc/meer.yaml
.
-
-h
,
--help
¶
The Meer help screen.
-
-q
,
--quiet
¶
This option to tells Meer to not output to the console. Logs are still sent to the /var/log/meer directory.
-
-q
,
--file
¶
This option bypasses the meer.yaml ‘input-type’ option and reads in files from the command line. Gzip compressed files can be read if Meer is compiled with GZIP support. If specifying multiple files, make sure to enclose your options with quotes (for example, –file “/var/log/suricata/*.gz”)
