UnboundLocalError: local variable 'local_response_path' referenced before assignment

[jslagrew]

I was able to resolve my local log issue. I did the following:

1. Used local_logs_file and enable_local_logs settings in /srv/dshield/etc/dshield.ini
2. Removed {date} rename code from __main__.py due to UnboundLocalError: local variable 'local_response_path' referenced before assignment error.
3. Recreated pyz file using ./build_zipapp.sh
4. Restarted web-honeypot service

I tested this by using the python3 ./isc_agent -l DEBUG and making tweaks to the __main__.py file. This was introduced with the most recent commit of the __main__.py file: b01fc8c

I don't understand why you are removing those lines. Can you provide more details? What is the path in your Dshield.ini?

[jslagrew]

I had not been receiving any local web honeypot logs, regardless of the settings that I had tried within the dshield.ini file. I tried the following combinations:

Option 1

local_logs_file=/srv/log/webhoneypot-srvconfig.json
enable_local_logs=true

Option 2

local_response_path=/srv/log/webhoneypot-srvconfig.json
record_local_responses=true

Neither setting created local logs within the /srv/log path. To troubleshoot further, I tried running the isc-agent manually, rather than as the service. That's where I ran into the UnboundLocalError message that complained about local_response_path. Since this was working for earlier testing, I commented out the most recently made change to help append the date to the log file. After making that change, the UnboundLocalError message did not appear again.

When testing the two options previously attempted for dshield.ini settings, Option 1 worked, but Option 2 did not.

Thanks for the clarification @jslagrew . Option 1 is the only one that should work. Option 2 is attempting to set the internal variable python names instead of the values in the ini file. I've submitted a PR for Dr J.
