Settings

The Settings page allows you to configure and customize your Wazuh app experience. This section is automatically opened the first time you open the app in order to configure your first Wazuh API credentials, so the app can work properly. There are multiple options to configure on Settings, such as:

  • API credentials

  • Extensions

  • Index pattern

Each option is described on the following sections below.

API

In this section, you can list all your inserted API credentials. The yellow star icon indicates the currently used API to show information on the app. Each entry has multiple available actions to manage it. Keep in mind that a working API is needed in order to add or edit an entry. Check your API connection status prior to adding them to the app.

Note

The Mark as selected option only applies to your browser, and it's stored in a cookie. Multiple users can select different APIs on their own Internet browsers.

Extensions

Wazuh provides multiple integrations and capabilities to monitor and analyze your hosts. If you're using some of them, you can enable multiple extensions on the app to visualize tailored dashboards, which provide rich and useful information. Some of these extensions are disabled by default because you have to previously enable them on your manager configuration in order to generate alerts.

The app provides the following extensions:

Note

The selected extensions are stored in a browser cookie. Multiple users can select different extensions on their own Internet browsers.
