Can someone please help on pointing how to turn on suricata fast.log and also keep the eve logs? I have managed somehow and the /var/logs/suricata/fast.log are updating but the alerts in opnsense do not work anymore after that, in the GUI.  
Also I am having a hard time knowing where to exactly modify the file to be persistant over reboots.

Since this is specific to the OPNSense implementation I would recommend to ask at the OPNSense forum.
