bro kafka plugin build error on --bro-init=$BRO_SRC option doesn't exist

[pele_smk <pe...@gmail.com>]

I'm following the instructions for building the bro Kafka plugin and I'm
getting an error with the --bro-dist option does not exist in ./configure

The command:
./configure --bro-dist=$BRO_SRC

The instructions I'm following:
https://metron.apache.org/current-book/metron-sensors/bro-plugin-kafka/index.html

The --enable-sasl option exists in the configure and works fine

./configure --enable-sasl



Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
Daniel

If you don’t send them through the kafka topic, and use nifi to write to
hdfs directly, then you will be skipping the enrichment and ES indexing.
Is that what you want?

Can I send syslogs to HDFS using NiFi without using Kafka Topic?

Where did you get the plugin from, and do you have $BRO_SRC set?  This
plugin has recently moved, had a release, and became a package.  The
documentation you point to is outdated at this point, and updated
documentation is a part of a release that's currently being voted on.

Please use bro-pkg to install this, or go directly to
https://github.com/apache/metron-bro-plugin-kafka

Bro dist is definitely in configure,
