Threat Intelligence Not Working – No zeek.intel Index Created (Arkime Only Ingest) #910

Description

Environment

  • Malcolm Version: v25.12.1
  • Deployment: Docker (AWS EC2)
  • Mode: Offline PCAP processing
  • Custom Threat Intel file added: xxx.intel
  • Target IP in PCAP: 192.168.2.53
    Summary of the Issue
  • Malcolm processes PCAP correctly and Arkime sessions are indexed. However:
  • Threat Intelligence dashboard shows 0 results
  • No zeek.intel dataset exists
  • No Zeek log indices (logs-, logs-zeek-) are created
  • Only arkime_* indices exist in OpenSearch
  • It appears that Z
    Expected Behavior
    After:
    1.Loading a valid .intel file
    2.Processing a PCAP containing a matching IP
    3.Having frameworks/intel/seen/conn-established enabled
    I expect:
  • zeek.intel events to be generated
  • A logs-zeek-* (or similar) index to be created
  • Threat Intelligence dashboard to show matcheseek logs (including intel.log) are not being ingested into OpenSearch.
    Actual Behavior
  • Arkime sessions are visible in arkime_sessions3-*
  • zeek.conn.* fields visible inside Arkime sessions
  • No zeek.intel fields anywhere
  • cat/indices shows only arkime* indices
    Output of: GET cat/indices?v
    shows arkime_sessions3-*
    arkime_fields
    *
    arkime_stats_*
    ...
    (no logs-* indices)
    Key Observation
    Zeek appears to process traffic correctly (since zeek.conn fields appear in Arkime), but:
    No Zeek logs are being indexed into OpenSearch.
    This suggests:
  • Filebeat not collecting Zeek logs
  • Zeek logs not mounted into filebeat container
  • Zeek ingestion pipeline disabled
  • Deployment running in Arkime-only profile
