Hi, I'm testing Ossec and am a bit confused when it comes to monitoring file creation. I'd like to be alerted when a new file is created on C:\ (e.g. an exe file is added: C:\example.exe) but I can't make it work.
As mentionned in the documentation, I've updated the client configuration file (ossec.conf) as follows: <syscheck> <alert_new_files>yes</alert_new_files> ... </syscheck> I've also added the path to be monitored: <directories realtime="yes" check_all="yes">C:\.</directories> As well as increased the level of rule ID 554 on the server from 0 to 10: <rule id="554" level="10"> <category>ossec</category> <decoded_as>syscheck_new_entry</decoded_as> <description>File added to the system.</description> <group>syscheck,</group> </rule> I've then added the exe file in C:\ but the ossec-alerts log file on the server does not mention it. Any idea what I have missed? Many thx in advance for your support. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ossec-list" group.
