Hello,

I’m using SELKS 10. I’m looking for a means to transfer the Suricata disabled rules list from one machine to another.

Anyone knows where they are stored?

I would recommend to ask that at the SELKS project at [GitHub - StamusNetworks/SELKS: A Suricata based IDS/IPS/NSM distro](https://github.com/StamusNetworks/SELKS) or even at the discord: [Stamus Networks Community](https://discord.gg/h5mEdCewvn)
