RE: [ossec-list] server-agent response on and another question

Hello Dan/Doug, I added the rule to the ossec.conf of the agent and I see that the agent executes the command itself. However it doesn't generate an alert on the server. Is there something I need to do to tell the agent to transmit the results of the command to the server? Thank you for your h

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys could help me out with some questions I have regarding OSSEC... Q1. Even though I've changed 'maild.groupping=1' to 'maild.groupping=0' in the configuration file "internal_options.conf" and restarted OSSEC, I keep getting grouped events via e-mail. Any idea

Re: [ossec-list] Override rules on a per server basis

2011-11-29 Thread Oliver Müller
In general the overwriting seems to work, but doesn't really help, because I have no tools to EXCLUDE or NEGATE a hostname and I don't have a dstip :-( the exclude or negate is also missing in category, user, program_name, … It does follow reg exp syntax, but reg exp doesn't allow an exclude reall

I appreciate the quick response. Well I guess I can ask about the real problem, which is with prelude support: When starting ossec, the analysisd daemon is started and it is supposed to create the queue/ossec/queue which is where the other daemons (log-collector, syscheck) send their events. How

[ossec-list] Timestamp of the integrity checksum files will be updated according to parameter inside the agent.conf file?

2011-11-29 Thread Marcos Tang
Hi, I have a question about the behavior of the parameter inside the agent.conf file. Right now, the OSSEC agent has the agent.conf file with 86400 setup, or it will scan the files every 20 hours.  One observation from the OSSEC server is the timestamp of the output integrity files found at

I can't think of a reason for the syscheck db to be written to when there were no changes. `/var/ossec/bin/syscheck_control -i AGENT_ID` will show the timestamp of the changes for AGENT. You can also check the agent's ossec.log file for entries about syscheck running. On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 8:4

Re: [ossec-list] Force syscheck database

2011-11-29 Thread dan (ddp)
What do you mean by "start the syscheck database?" The syscheck db is a file on the manager, the agent's syscheck process gets the hashes of the configured files and forwards them to the manager (via ossec-agentd -> ossec-remoted). On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 8:37 PM, Macus wrote: > I am using OSSEC
