Hi Jelle,

ossec-hids-agent package should be the only one you need. Not sure why you
are getting these errors.

The process to connect an agent to a server requires you to:

- Run /var/ossec/bin/manage_agents and import the key from the server.
- Edit /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf and set the server-ip variable.
- Restart ossec-hids (service ossec restart)

Of course, previously to these steps, you would also need to add a new
agent on the manager (your OSSIM system in this case). You can also use
manage_agents for this (or do it from the GUI).

If you already did this and it doesn't work, lets try to figure out what
the issue is. Please if possible let me know what Debian version you are
using. As well please double check that ossec-remoted process is running on
the server.

The output of these commands would help:

ps aux | grep ossec (both for the agent and your ossim box, the manager)
dpkg -l | grep -i ossec
service ossec status
cat /etc/debian_version

Thank you,

Santiago.
