I'm trying to configure ossec to monitor our windows servers. I've configured agent.conf, installed a few agents (one on Windows 2008, one on 2012r2, and one on Windows 10).
I can get the settings to sync (md5 sum of agent.conf matches what I get with agent_control), but when I restart the agent, the log shows it only looking at the settings in it's local ossec.conf. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's what my agent.conf looks like: <agent_config name="someserver"> <localfile> <location>Security</location> <log_format>eventlog</log_format> </localfile> </agent_config> <!-- Rootcheck - Policy monitor config --> <rootcheck> <windows_audit>./shared/win_audit_rcl.txt</windows_audit> <windows_apps>./shared/win_applications_rcl.txt</windows_apps> <windows_malware>./shared/win_malware_rcl.txt</windows_malware> </rootcheck> <agent_config os="windows"> <!-- Syscheck - Integrity Checking config. --> <syscheck> <!-- Default frequency, every 20 hours. It doesn't need to be higher - on most systems and one a day should be enough. --> <frequency>72000</frequency> <!-- By default it is disabled.
