Hi Barry, File /var/ossec/etc/local_decoder.xml must exist and contain at less one decoder, although it is a dummy one, for example:
<decoder name="local_decoder_example"> <program_name>local_decoder_example</program_name> </decoder> Try to create that file and fill it with the content above and restar ossec with: /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control restart. Hope it help. Best regards. On Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at 12:41:27 AM UTC-8, Barry Kaplan wrote: > > Looks like the config entries for local_decor was the culprit.
