Hello,  
A topic has been closed because it has been a long time since the last reply. Is it possible to reopen it?

Thank you.

We’ve closed very few topics, and its usually because there is a specific solution to the original post and any new questions are best done with a new topic. If you disagree, please post the topic here, as only admins can re-open a topic.

Hello,  
Thank you so much for your reply.  
I have a topic named **Suricata-IDS and file server or storage** , setting up and testing these servers will take some time and the topic may be closed until then.
