There are a few ways you can check the Suricata version on your system.

You can ask Suricata to display its version:

sudo docker exec so-suricata /opt/suricata/bin/suricata -V
This is Suricata version 7.0.6 RELEASE

Or you can check the first line of the Suricata log file:

sudo head -1 /opt/so/log/suricata/suricata.log 
[11 - Suricata-Main] 2024-08-09 07:05:52 Notice: suricata: This is Suricata version 7.0.6 RELEASE running in SYSTEM mode
