"not sure if I understood this correctly. Are you trying to read those files
remotely?"

I have an OSSEC agent on my Windows server.

I can easily add a localfile reference to watch over my IIS Websites but as
I have 100 or so websites per server automation is pretty important.

The question was could an agent based ossec.conf file pull in configuration
references from a separate file?

In this manner I could write out localfile references to this external file
automatically without having to try to automatically edit a section in my
ossec.conf file.

 

Additionally as I read about using the agent.conf option to push config
files out to the remote agents it would seem allowing the use of an external
file for local customizations would make a lot of sense.

Hi James,

 

not sure if I understood this correctly. Are you trying to read those files
remotely? How are those accessible? (samba?) If that is the case I guess
those could probably be read as local.

 

Best

I am running a mixed environment of Linux and Windows Webservers and trying 
to determine how to add all my website logfiles. 
On the Linux Servers all the website logfiles reside in the same folder so I

have a wildcard pattern to add all the website logfiles. 

On the Windows side however logfiles are stored by customer and website and 
thus do not exist in the same folder area. 
I was wondering if there was an option to reference an external file or 
directory for local file definitions? 

Then I could easily rebuild definitions in this external file as sites are 
added without having to modify the main config file. 

I am hoping I just missed this option as it sounds like something that could

be in the agent.conf file and pushed out to multiple servers.
