All,
I have hundreds of machines that are (supposed to be) all configured
exactly the same way via kickstarts and periodic Puppet runs. I've noticed
that sometimes a Puppet push will modify a file across all of our machines,
and the resulting syscheck notifications are a mixed bag - some have the
report_change included (the *diff*), and others generate an alert but lack
the report_change details.
I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why it's working on some and
not others. Below are some details on a machine where report_change is
failing:
*OSSEC Agent Version:*
ossec-hids-agent-2.9.0-48.el6.art.x86_64
ossec-hids-2.9.0-48.el6.art.x86_64
*inotify-tools Version:*
rpm -qa | grep -i inotify
inotify-tools-3.14-1.el6.x86_64
*E-mail Notification:*

relevant"

*The logs on the Agent do show that real-time monitoring was started prior
to this change…*
2017/02/07 20:56:23 ossec-syscheckd: INFO: Initializing real time file
monitoring (not started).
…
2017/02/07 21:30:07 ossec-syscheckd: INFO: Real time file monitoring
started.
*Strangely enough, the diff file does exist on the filesystem for this
machine:*
cat /var/ossec/queue/diff/local/etc/security/limits.conf/diff.1486673498
52a53,54
> * soft stack 10240
> * hard stack unlimited
# 1486673498 converts to Thursday February 09, 2017 15:51:38 (pm)
*As far as I can tell my agent.conf is correct (and remember I use this
agent.conf across hundreds of nodes):*
<agent_config os="Linux">
<syscheck>
<auto_ignore>no</auto_ignore>
<frequency>79200</frequency>
<directories realtime="yes" report_changes="yes"
check_all="yes">/etc</directories>
</syscheck>
…
*Permissions of /var/ossec/tmp:*
ls -ld /var/ossec/tmp/
dr-xr-x--- 2 root ossec 4096 Feb 9 16:27 /var/ossec/tmp/
Any thoughts on what could be causing this?
