Hey, I have tried same with 2 profiles and restarted agents and master and 
added some files in the monitoring directories and I have got some email 
alerts for the added files. Now I believe that this <config_profile> is 
working. 

I have one more question !! will the rules in /var/ossec/rules/  still 
apply to the agents right ? 

what I'm trying is I have 5 static machines and 5 dynamic machines now I 
need to be able to vary rules based on profile. Is it possible ? For 
example if I login to my static machine and do a sudo for the first time I 
should get an email alert and if I login to my dynamic agent and do a sudo 
for the first time I should not get the email alert !

Thanks
