I don't use the active-response features, so take this with a grain of
salt.  My understanding is that when an active-response (AR) rule is
triggered, the appropriate "action" is taken.  That action is defined in
 your ossec.conf, and is usually deny-host.sh or something of your own
design.

That being said, you should be able to tailor the AR to whatever your
system requires.
