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.
