I am not getting what Daniel said I should see on the server file structure. what could I do to further troubleshoot?? However, FYI>> I have just followed your suggestion from another post and changed my set-up. instead of using agent.config , I placed the command in the windows agent ossec.conf file and used the alias' that you suggested:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ossec-list/1t6dnbzMZzM/WwQ0RXOB3ycJ now I get some sign on the client side but nothing on the server side that I can see in 'alets.log' on the ossec server: client log: 2014/06/04 13:53:57 ossec-agent(4102): INFO: Connected to the server (10.1.16.26:1514). 2014/06/04 13:53:57 ossec-agent(1951): INFO: Analyzing event log: 'Application'. 2014/06/04 13:53:57 ossec-agent(1951): INFO: Analyzing event log: 'Security'. 2014/06/04 13:53:57 ossec-agent(1951): INFO: Analyzing event log: 'System'. 2014/06/04 13:53:57 ossec-agent: INFO: Monitoring full output of command(360): reg QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR 2014/06/04 13:53:57 ossec-agent: INFO: Started (pid: 5832).
