I keep seeing these from more than one person - with over 6000 agents in 3 DC's I can tell you I have found the quickest solution: 1. Although this is frowned upon - on the agents - wipe /var/ossec/ queue/rids/ on each of the offending agents 2. find the agent ID in the same folder on the

Anyone have any idea why a server would ignore the localfiles for monitoring? I have some alerts that SHOULD be triggering, but they do not trigger on the server, only on agents. Yes, the config file is the same. This is as simple as /var/log/secure being monitored for logins/ failures/etc and

Yep -- sending 1800 agents to a single server so it has a lot to analyze. I am finding that this causes many of the agents to show disconnected because they can't get to the server while it is processing very busy nodes. So rather than throw additional servers at it, I have all the cores, but I am
