This module installs and configures Wazuh agent and manager.

Install manager via Puppet

The manager is configured by installing the wazuh::manager class, and optionally using:

  • wazuh::command: to define active response command (like firewall-drop.sh).

  • wazuh::activeresponse: to link rules to active response commands.

  • wazuh::addlog: to define additional log files to monitor.

Warning

On Debian-based operating systems, we will have to add the following section to the /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/wazuh/manifests/repo.pp file for proper execution:

server => 'pgp.mit.edu'. Line 9 to 12, do not forget the , after source entry.

apt::key { 'wazuh':
    id     => '0DCFCA5547B19D2A6099506096B3EE5F29111145',
    source => 'https://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH',
    server => 'pgp.mit.edu'
  }

Here is an example of a manifest wazuh-manager.pp

node "server.yourhost.com" {
  class { 'wazuh::manager':
    ossec_smtp_server => 'localhost',
    ossec_emailto => ['user@mycompany.com'],
  }

  wazuh::command { 'firewallblock':
    command_name       => 'firewall-drop',
    command_executable => 'firewall-drop.sh',
    command_expect     => 'srcip'
  }

  wazuh::activeresponse { 'blockWebattack':
      command_name => 'firewall-drop',
      ar_level     => 9,
      ar_agent_id  => 123,
      ar_rules_id  => [31153,31151],
      ar_repeated_offenders => '30,60,120'
  }

  wazuh::addlog { 'monitorLogFile':
    logfile => '/var/log/secure',
    logtype => 'syslog'
  }
}

Place the file at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/ in your Puppet master and it will be executed in the specified node after the runinterval time set in puppet.conf. However, if you want to run it first, try the following command in the Puppet agent.

# puppet agent -t

Install agent via Puppet

The agent is configured by installing the wazuh::agent class.

Here is an example of a manifest wazuh-agent.pp (please replace with your IP address)

node "client.yourhost.com" {

  class { "wazuh::agent":
    wazuh_register_endpoint => "192.168.209.166",
    wazuh_reporting_endpoint => "192.168.209.167"
  }

}

Place the file at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/ in your Puppet master and it will be executed in the specified node after the runinterval time set in puppet.conf. However, if you want to run it first, try the following command in the Puppet agent.

# puppet agent -t
