Configuration file¶

The Wazuh app includes a configuration file (located at /usr/share/kibana/optimize/wazuh/config/wazuh.yml) where you can define custom values for several options. This section describes all the settings available in this file.

The configuration file shows the default values for all of the possible options. You can edit the file, uncomment any of them and apply the desired values. You can also edit these settings from the Wazuh app in Settings > Configuration.

The configuration file reference is organized by sections:

Default value	wazuh-alerts-3.x-*

When the value is set to false, the app won’t show the visualization and won’t insert monitoring-related data.
When the value is set to worker, the app will show the visualization, but won’t insert monitoring-related data.

Warning

Although the minimum value can be 60, we recommend adjusting it to at least 300 seconds to avoid overloading issues due to the excessive creation of documents into the index.
