Ok, I was able to fix this.
The rules in ms-se_rules.xml were not being run, so I added this to rule 7701: <if_sid>18101,18102,18103</if_sid> (The rules for windows Information, Warning, and Error from an event log entry) I belive this to be a bug, what would be the appropriate reporting method so this change is made in future versions?

I'm fairly new to ossec and this is my first mailing list post. I'm having problems getting ossec to alert on MS security Essentials events. Security Essentials makes entries into the windows System event log. I turned on <logall> and verified these log events are making it to the server, however when I run: cat archives.log | /var/ossec/bin/ossec-logtest -a No alerts are generated from events which should be generating alerts (I have been downloading the eicar test file and verified it creates an entry in the System eventlog when found, and I have verified that entry is sent to the server and exists in archives.log) I checked to make sure the ms-se_rules.xml is included in the server config. I've only started looking into how rules are created and processed so thus far I haven't seen any errors with the ms-se_rules.xml file Any thoughts?
