Hello Sylvain, As you have said, the ossec.conf file is populated with a default configuration when you install the Windows agent.
However, this default configuration is never going to have any conflict due to the agent.conf and the ossec.conf are merged. During that merge, the agent.conf overwrites all the settings with a unique value allowed while settings with paths to files are concatenated. In the following documentation, you could find more information about the centralized configuration. https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/reference/centralized-configuration.html I hope it helps, Best regards.
