wodle name="cis-cat"

New in version 3.1.0.

Configuration options of the CIS-CAT wodle.

Options

Main options

disabled
timeout
java_path
ciscat_path
content

Main options	Allowed values
disabled	yes, no
timeout	A positive number (seconds)
java_path	Any valid path
ciscat_path	Any valid path
content	N/A

Scheduling options	Allowed values
scan-on-start	yes, no
interval	A positive number + suffix
day	A day of the month
wday	A day of the week
time	A time of the day [hh:mm]

In the CIS-CAT integration section are shown some cases of using these options.

disabled

Disables the CIS-CAT wodle.

Default value	no
Allowed values	yes, no

timeout

Timeout for each evaluation. In case the execution takes longer that the specified timeout, it stops.

Default value	1800
Allowed values	A positive number (seconds)

java_path

Define where Java is located. If this parameter is not set, the wodle will search for the Java location in the default environment variable $PATH.

Default value	`$PATH`
Allowed values	Any valid path.

Warning

For this field, it can be set a full path or a relative path. Whether you specify a relative path, it concatenates to the Wazuh installation path. ciscat_path has the same behavior.

ciscat_path

Define where CIS-CAT is located.

Default value	wodles/ciscat
Allowed values	Any valid path.

content

Define an evaluation. At present, you can only run assessments for XCCDF policy files.

Attributes

type	Select content type.
path	Use the specified policy file.
timeout	Timeout for the evaluation (in seconds). Use of this attribute overwrites the generic timeout.
profile	Select profile.

Note

The path attribute can be filled in with the whole path where the benchmark files are located, or with a relative path to the CIS-CAT tool location.

scan-on-start

Run evaluation immediately when service is started.

Default value	yes
Allowed values	yes, no

interval

Interval between CIS-CAT executions.

Default value	1d
Allowed values	A positive number that should contain a suffix character indicating a time unit, such as, s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks), M (months)

The interval option is conditioned by the following described options day, wday and time. If none of these options are set, the interval can take any allowed value.

day

New in version 3.5.0.

Day of the month to run the CIS-CAT scan.

Default value	n/a
Allowed values	Day of the month [1..31]

Note

When the day option is set, the interval value must be a multiple of months. By default, the interval is set to a month.

wday

New in version 3.5.0.

Day of the week to run the CIS-CAT scan. This option is not compatible with the day option.

Default value	n/a
Allowed values	Day of the week: sunday/sun monday/mon tuesday/tue wednesday/wed thursday/thu friday/fri saturday/sat

Note

When the wday option is set, the interval value must be a multiple of weeks. By default, the interval is set to a week.

time

New in version 3.5.0.

Time of the day to run the scan. It has to be represented in the format hh:mm.

Default value	n/a
Allowed values	Time of day [hh:mm]

Note

When only the time option is set, the interval value must be a multiple of days or weeks. By default, the interval is set to a day.
