I should note that Suricata 6.0 is no longer supported, so there could be other issues impacting your deployment. I’d suggest upgrading to the latest 7.0.6 release and re-testing.
If using RPMs, we do have a repo with newer versions of Suricata for RHEL 7: @oisf/suricata-7.0 Copr
But with RHEL 7, or at least CentOS 7 now being end of life, 7.0.6 is probably the last release that will land for RHEL 7.
