zeekctl-setcap
Zeekctl plugin for automatically executing 'setcap' on each node after an install
On the Zeek Manager
- Drop the setcap.py plugin into /opt/zeek/lib/zeekctl/plugins/
- Add the following lines to zeekctl.cfg (adjust accordingly for your installation)
setcap.enabled=1
setcap.command=sudo /sbin/setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /opt/zeek/bin/zeek && sudo /sbin/setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /opt/zeek/bin/capstats
On each Node
Edit the sudoers file (use visudo) and add the following lines to allow sudo execution (w/o password or tty) of setcap. If you're running Zeek as a different user, or from a different directory, adjust as necessary:
Cmnd_Alias ZEEK_SETCAP = /sbin/setcap cap_net_raw\,cap_net_admin=eip /opt/bro/bin/zeek
Cmnd_Alias CAPSTATS_SETCAP = /sbin/setcap cap_net_raw\,cap_net_admin=eip /opt/bro/bin/capstats
zeek ALL=NOPASSWD: ZEEK_SETCAP, CAPSTATS_SETCAP
Defaults!/sbin/setcap !requiretty
