If this new release features some improvements in the creation process, the main new things for the user are an updated version of Scirius and a custom Kibana interface. A menu to switch from one interface to the other has been added on both application. A link has been added in the detail of alert event to be able to jump from Kibana to the correct place in Scirius rule management. The following screencast demonstrates these features:

On Suricata side, file extraction and Unix socket are now enable by default. So SELKS 1.0-beta2 will extract to disk files from stream if signatures containing the filestore are used. The activation of Unix socket allows user to get data from Suricata and/or to use alternate running modes like multiple pcap processing.
