[Bro] Question log/spool directory specification in broctl.conf

[Raj Srinivasan]

Thank you, Daniel. I did see the directories for different workers, so my question was more or less a shot in the dark. I will look some more into the worker crashes I have seen, and get back if I need any help.

Thanks again!
Raj

Broctl automatically creates a separate working directory (such as
"spool/worker-1") for each Bro process.  All of the logs are automatically sent to the manager.
