Why are you interested in this approach? Is it a school project?

Zeek isn=E2=80=99t designed to be an intrusion detection system that create=
s
alerts, although it does produce notices. You might be better off with
Suricata if you want alerts.

you can run it on the command line without using zeekctl/broctl using <br>

I don=E2=80=99t 100% get the questions. If you load misc/loaded-scripts in =

zeekctl/broctl is the management application to start zeek cluster <br>
setups. See e.g. <a href=3D"https://github.com/zeek/zeekctl" rel=3D"norefer=
