psad: pid file /var/run/psad/psadwatchd.pid does not exist for psadwatchd on ...

Hi,
I followed your guide and ran into the following problem when using psad -R
:
/etc/psad# ufw reload
Firewall reloaded
root@server:/etc/psad# psad -R
[-] psad: pid file /var/run/psad/psadwatchd.pid does not exist for psadwatchd on server
[+] Stopping psad, pid: 1491
[+] Stopping psad_fw_read, pid: 1492
[+] Restarting psad daemons on

But when using psad -H
it still says [-] psadwatchd daemon not running.
So it looks like you have to set another setting for psadwatchd
to start. I will update the guide.

in the config file adding (/etc/psad/psad.conf):
ENABLE_PSADWATCHD Y;
and then follow the instructions at https://carteryagemann.com/psad-on-pi.html
worked for me
Yup. I added the ENABLE_PSADWATCHD
thing to my guide.
HIi, I'm still having the “psad: psadwatchd is not running on” after I added “ENABLE_PSADWATCHD Y;” and followed the above guide.
I also correctly added this in before.rules
:
# log all traffic so psad can analyze
-A INPUT -j LOG --log-tcp-options --log-prefix "[IPTABLES] "
-A FORWARD -j LOG --log-tcp-options --log-prefix "[IPTABLES] "
However, I still see:
psad --fw-analyze
[+] Parsing INPUT chain rules.

Mail shows:
You may just need to add a default logging rule to the 'filter' 'INPUT' chain on
I'm not good with iptables.

psadwatchd does indeed start and run, but stops running after a few seconds. Is it expected?

This is due to the fact I set IPV6
to no
in /etc/default/ufw
file.
