linux – Snort Message – WARNING: No preprocessors configured for policy 0

This message indicates that no snort preprocessor is loaded. In order to get rid of this warning, please use the following command:

snort -v -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

Please make sure that the configuration file /etc/snort/snort.conf is present and preprocessors are enabled in the configuration file.

I had the same error:

No preprocessors configured for policy 0

That was because I forgot to unpack all the rules into the proper folders. After unpacking the rules, the error went away.

linux – Snort Message – WARNING: No preprocessors configured for policy 0

Check if it is enabled and see if it has any sid or msg with:

snort -A console -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

And check if any of the preprocessors are sending alerts if not you should recompile it.
