How can one reference a potentially missing key such that the script will
not terminate? For example in a file_new event, if I reference the
mime_type attribute and it is uninitialized I receive “no such field in
record”
Example code below:
if( f?$mime_type) #error here
Hello folks:
I have successfully been able to send everything to a remote single Kafka
Topic from a local Bro machine and following is my local.bro file to make
that happen:
*##! Local site policy. Customize as appropriate.*
*##!*
*##! This file will not be overwritten when upgrading or reinstalling!*
*#@load packages*
*@load
/usr/local/bro/lib/bro/plugins/packages/metron-bro-plugin-kafka/scripts/Apache/Kafka*
*redef Kafka::send_all_active_logs = T;*
*redef Kafka::tag_json = T;*
*redef Kafka::kafka_conf = table(["metadata.broker.list"] =
"XX.XX.XX.XX:9092");*
However, when I change that to write logs to their individual Kafka topics
I get an error message under stderr.log. Following is my updated local.bro:
*##! Local site policy. Customize as appropriate.*
*##!*
*##! This file will not be overwritten when upgrading or reinstalling!*

*event bro_init() &priority=-10*
*{*

I enter "broctl check" and "broctl deploy" after that; but get the
following:

Yes, I have iptables enabled on the local bro machine but it works with the
first configuration option file. How come bro thinks that the kafka broker
is local. It is supposed to send the messages to XX.XX.XX.XX.
Thanks in advance.
