NAME
       broctl - interactive shell for managing Bro installations

SYNOPSIS
       broctl [command]

DESCRIPTION
       broctl  is an interactive interface for managing either a standalone or
       a Bro cluster installation.  If a broctl command is specified  directly
       on  the	command-line,  then broctl performs the action associated with
       that command immediately (instead of  running  the  interactive	inter‐
       face).

       Before  actually	 running broctl you first need to edit the broctl.cfg,
       node.cfg, and networks.cfg files. In the broctl.cfg  file,  you	should
       review  the  broctl options and make sure the options are set correctly
       for your environment. Next, edit the  node.cfg  file  and  specify  the
       nodes that you will be running. Finally, edit the networks.cfg file and
       list each network that is considered local to the monitored environment
       (see the examples in the file for the format to use).

       When  running broctl for the first time, you must run the broctl deploy
       command before running any other commands in order to apply the config‐
       uration settings.  You must also run broctl deploy each time you change
       the configuration (including any Bro scripts) or upgrade Bro.
