Wazuh agent enrollment
Wazuh agent enrollment is the process of registering a Wazuh agent with a Wazuh manager. Enrollment authorizes the Wazuh agent to communicate securely with the Wazuh manager and become part of the Wazuh security platform.
The Wazuh agent enrollment process allows the Wazuh manager to generate a unique client key for each Wazuh agent. The Wazuh agent uses the client key to encrypt communication with the Wazuh manager and validate its identity.
After enrollment, the Wazuh agent collects security information from the monitored endpoint and sends it to the Wazuh manager for analysis.
