New securityonion-setup package allows you to disable Snorby

I've updated the Setup package to resolve several issues, including allowing you to disable Snorby.  It should work as follows:

  • choosing Quick Setup still defaults to enabling Snorby automatically.  It will automatically set SNORBY_ENABLED=yes in /etc/nsm/securityonion.conf and enable the snorby output in /etc/nsm/HOSTNAME-INTERFACE/barnyard2-1.conf.
  • choosing Advanced Setup and then Server will ask if you want to enable or disable Snorby.  If you choose yes, it will set SNORBY_ENABLED=yes in /etc/nsm/securityonion.conf.  Otherwise, it will set SNORBY_ENABLED=no.
  • choosing Advanced Setup and then Standalone will ask if you want to enable or disable Snorby.  If you choose yes, it will set SNORBY_ENABLED=yes in /etc/nsm/securityonion.conf and enable the snorby output in all /etc/nsm/*/barnyard*.conf files.  If you instead choose no, it will set SNORBY_ENABLED=no and disable (comment out) the snorby output in all /etc/nsm/*/barnyard*.conf files.
  • choosing Sensor will check /etc/nsm/securityonion.conf on the master server to see if SNORBY_ENABLED=no and, if so, disable (comment out) the Snorby output in all /etc/nsm/*/barnyard*.conf files.

Snorby is going away in the future and so you should begin transitioning to Squert, Sguil, and/or ELSA.  If you'd like to disable Snorby in your existing deployment, please see:
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/wiki/DisablingProcesses#disabling-snorby

securityonion-setup - 20120912-0ubuntu0securityonion155
