If there are entries in the active-responses.log file, the scripts are running.
If there are not entries in the log, you need to figure out why.

On the OSSEC server add a rule to /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml
looking for the information in the log message.

For instance, I have the following logs:
Tue Oct 18 07:04:11 EDT 2016 /var/ossec/active-response/bin/pf.sh add
- 42.112.31.172 1476788651.100797 5718
Wed Oct 19 08:10:26 EDT 2016 /var/ossec/active-response/bin/pf.sh add
- 117.211.159.74 1476879026.110618 5718

My rules would be something like:

<!-- Identify an active response log message -->
<rule id="987654" level="0">
  <match>/var/ossec/active-response/bin</match>
  <description>AR fired</description>
</rule>

<!-- Once the log message is identified, check to see if it is adding
something to ossec_fwtable -->
<rule id="987655" level="10">
   <if_sid>987654</if_sid>
   <match>pf.sh add </match>
   <description>pf.sh active response added an ip to the
blocklist.</description>
</rule>

After adding the rules the OSSEC processes on the server would have to
be restarted.

I could make it fancier by creating a decoder, but it's probably not necessary.
