I did the same thing and did not loose any configs or agents.  To be safe
tar up your /var/ossec/*.  I think all you will really be doing is
compilling a new binary that supports logging to mysql. So this should not
affect your agents. Goodluck.

HI All
I had deployed OSSEC  without database support and is currently having 30
agents runnning on a server-agent set up.

I want to enable MYSQL database support, but according to the manual i will
have to re-install and recompile OSSEC afresh.

Does this mean i will loose the current configuration and start installing
agents all over gain ?

Kindly advice
