Installing Wazuh agent
The Wazuh agent runs on the hosts that you want to monitor. It is multi-platform and provides the following capabilities: log and data collection, file integrity monitoring, rootkits and malware detection, and security policy monitoring. In addition, it talks to the Wazuh manager, sending data in near real-time through an encrypted and authenticated channel.
There are several options to install a Wazuh agent, depending on the operating system and whether or not you wish to build from source. Consult the table below and choose how to proceed for a given agent:
