Centralized configuration

Remote commands may be specified in the centralized configuration, however, they are disabled by default due to security reasons.

When setting commands in a shared agent configuration, you must enable remote commands for Agent Modules.

This is enabled by adding the following line to the file etc/local_internal_options.conf in the agent:

wazuh_command.remote_commands=1
