The mirrored traffic will retain their VLAN tags and Suricata can parse these tags.
I’m not sure how far down this path you’ve gone, but suricata will not automatically correlate primitives into actual alerts from different vlans without transforms, which are cpu-intensive for what they do.
You may want to pull your tap/span/mirror from a point where they converge, like internal side of network egress.



Oh, yeah, absolutely. Suricata was created not long after snort, in the days when an ids did the gathering and the correlation.
You’re totally right, the way most people and orgs do it today is to ship ids logs to a siem for the correlation, overall easier to manage. ELK is the go-to for most, not sure about wazuh, I’ve only seen it in the homelab space, but it might work.
There is a distro (not totally open source) called SELKS, which sets up suricata, elastic and some other tooling (kibana) in a commonly-used setup. I deploy it a lot because it saves time with the non-security setup with dB’s and such. Pretty easy to point syslog to it and you can see alerts right away and start tuning.
I’m envious of your position, I learned a lot setting this stuff up.
