Can you explain how its not working? Does your `/path/to/sample.conf` exist? ---

It is most likely the underscore in the filename. Try escaping or quoting the filename or using something like “disable.test.conf” as the filename. ---

This could be a bug. It might be preferring the existence of `/etc/suricata/disable.conf` over what is supplied in `/etc/suricata/update.yaml`. If this is the case, adding the command line option `--disable-conf /path/to/disable.conf` should override, and I’ll be looking further into this. > **[Bug #6172: update.yaml: configured disable.conf not being respected -...](https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/6172)** > > Redmine
