Thanks all for your feedback. I added the following in the local_rules.xml after </group> --> and before <!-- EOF --> but running into errors:
<rule id=“100101” level=“0”> <if_level>7</if_level> <srcip>1.2.3.4</srcip> <srcip>2.3.4.5/24 <http://64.37.231.0/24></srcip> <description>Ignoring rule any level above 7 from Whitelisted IPs</description> </rule> Error: "OSSEC analysisd: Testing rules failed. Configuration error. Exiting." Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Cal On Wednesday, 2 March 2016 10:44:22 UTC+5:30, Daniel Cid wrote: > > That's correct as long as the srcip is being decoded.
