Hmm.  Is your newvar used for detection or just for configuring your action?  The goal was to move all action related stuff out of the rule body.  You can look at the replace option which works with the reject action for probably the closest example but I don't that does what you want.

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a simple ips_action plugin. I need to use arguments per rule for action.

newaction tcp any any -> any any ( msg: "new action test", newvar: "abc"; sid: 123 )

Is it possible to access newvar variable within void NewAction::exec(Packet* p) function?
Or do you suggest another way to pass per rule arguments to action?

Thanks,
Ozkan
