Hi,

Philip, Wazuh still supports CEF format, it integrates all the 
functionality from OSSEC 2.8.3 and 2.9beta, I am pretty sure you will be 
able to integrate Wazuh with your current Graylog instance, same way you 
can do it with OSSEC.

Regarding to the ruleset, last version from Wazuh rules is not totally 
compatible with OSSEC 2.8.3 because the "dynamic fields", this new 
functionality allow us to extract as many fields as we want on the 
decoders, so we are not limited to the static ones "srcip, srcport, 
extra_data..", moreover you will be able to use those fields later when 
creating rules (I would recommend you to take a look at the Changelog 
<https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md>)
If the decoders does not contain any dynamic field, you could use them on 
your standard OSSEC.


I don't have any experience with Greylog, but I can see how it could ingest 
data in JSON format (
http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.1/pages/extractors.html#using-the-json-extractor) 
maybe you can use JSON output, that could be an amazing improvement for 
your architecture.


I am feeling curious about the botnet issue, please feel free to explain in 
detail your botnet issue and maybe we can help, it seems interesting :P, 
you mention there is a limit of the decoders fields in your case, what do 
you need to extract ? are you using active response ?

Kind regards,
Pedro Sanchez.
