Greetings Steve:

/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf contains what rule files in /var/ossec/rules
are utilized by ossec.

There is a /var/rules/proftpd_rules.xml file which if it does not
contain what you need, you can create custom rules (including
overwriting existing rules) in /var/rules/local_rules.xml

Please note /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf does need to be updated with
what log files you want monitored.

This is typically towards the end of the file, and you can add entries
such as

  <localfile>
    <log_format>syslog</log_format>
    <location>[full path to xfer log without brackets]</location>
  </localfile>

  <localfile>
    <log_format>syslog</log_format>
    <location>/var/log/proftpd/current</location>
  </localfile>

Thank you.
