I would love to see Metron have a solution for both approaches - ingesting
DHCP server logs, as well as DHCP observations based on network traffic. Like
@ottobackwards mentioned, not everyone can get the right
infrastructure/viewpoint on their network to run something like Bro and get the
DHCP traffic to their sensors to be processed.
I have definitely sent more than just DNS and HTTP from Bro to Metron and
it has been properly ingested, but to date I haven't done DHCP. Like
@simonellistonball and @nickwallen mentioned, both the parser and the kafka
plugin are setup to handle new bro logs quite well, and a while back I worked
on updating Metron's support for more Bro sources via
[METRON-508](https://github.com/JonZeolla/incubator-metron/commit/736cc39525f9f08f6e781faea2610e893327e74c).
I just never had a chance to test it, so I haven't yet opened a PR.
Once #545 and #547 get merged into master, and I'm able to finish
[METRON-813](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-813), I would be
happy to work on anything related to Bro and DHCP logs at scale, including
finishing up METRON-508. I have two hardware bro environments and my larger
one currently sees about 7 million DHCP observations/day and sends ~30,000
messages per second into Metron.
