> I have a fresh installation of Bro 1.5.1, and I am encountering an error when running 'broctl cron'. It appears that when broctl attempts to do a df, the % symbol is not stripped before python tries to convert it to a float. This throws a python error, as you can see below.
> I made the error disappear by changing {{avail=float(df[3])}} to {{avail=float(df[3].strip("%"))}}
> Thanks,
