Hi,
I currently try to write an automated ossec agent deplyment and am
struggeling over setting the agents key. I try on agent system:
/var/ossec/bin/manage_agents -i somekey
but get sth. like:
<== Agent information:
<== ID:14
<== Name:xxx.xxxx.xxxx
<== IP Address:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
<== Confirm adding it?(y/n):
interactive input is dificult for my config management. So my question is:
Is there a way to set agents-key non-interactive?
what I do is create a file containing ip,hostname and then do
/var/ossec/bin/manage_agents -f file
This is working for agents? If yes cool :-)
Docu says " (Manager only)" for this feature.
Maybe some should fix the docu in this case?
Yes, this must be done on the server. I thought you were needing to create the
key.
Before I shifted to this mode, there was a script in place that just blindly
echoed the data into manage_agents, including the 'y'. It worked most of the
time (but not if anything went wrong and the prompts changes)
Expect is the tool to use for dealing with interactive systems when you want to
handle errors.
