enable-source - Enable a source

Synopsis

suricata-update enable-source <source-name> [param=val ...]

Description

Enable a source that is listed in the index.

If the index requires user provided parameters the user will be prompted for them. Alternatively they can be provided on command line to avoid the prompt.

For example:

suricata-update enable-source et/pro secret-code=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This will prevent the prompt for the et/pro secret code using the value provided on the command line instead.

To update parameters for enabled sources, just re-run the enable-source command above again with changed parameters. Changed parameters will be updated in the stored configuration.
