are you getting "Failed to encode record as JSON: __init__() got an
unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'"?
i think this is due to https://github.com/jasonish/py-idstools/issues/36
Fetch the latest python-idstools or just remove , encoding="latin-1" from
the highlighted line from
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/idstools/scripts/u2eve.py (or where it
lives on your distribution):
https://github.com/jasonish/py-idstools/blob/5862a936af07b37458b1fc3719f9ade065b283f1/idstools/scripts/u2eve.py#L302
