ossec-control
The ossec-control script is used to start, stop, configure, or check on the status of Wazuh processes. This script can enable or disable client-syslog, database logging, agentless configurations, integration with slack and pagerduty, and debug mode.
Note
We recommend to use the systemctl
or service
commands (depending on your OS) to start, stop or restart the Wazuh service. This will avoid inconsistencies between the service status and the processes status.
start |
Start the Wazuh processes. |
||
stop |
Stop the Wazuh processes. |
||
restart |
Restart the Wazuh processes. |
||
reload |
Restart all Wazuh processes except ossec-execd. This allows an agent to reload without losing active response status. This option is not available on a local Wazuh installation. |

Note
To use the database option, Database support must be compiled in during initial installation.
