Rotate bistream files

Dionaea does not have and may never will have a function/option to rotate the bistream files. But you can do this by using a cron job and a simple shell script.

Feel free to use and modify the script below.

#!/bin/bash

# Compress bistream files older than 2 days
find /opt/dionaea/var/dionaea/bistreams/* -type f -mtime +2 -exec gzip {} \;

# Clear bistream logs from dionaea every week
find /opt/dionaea/var/dionaea/bistreams/* -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;
find /opt/dionaea/var/dionaea/bistreams/* -type d -empty -delete
