Wazuh dashboard
This Wazuh central component is a flexible and intuitive web interface for mining, analyzing, and visualizing security data. It provides out-of-the-box dashboards, allowing you to seamlessly navigate through the user interface. It also enables centralized management of the Wazuh manager and Wazuh agents, giving you full control from a single unified console.
The Wazuh dashboard shows security events, detected vulnerabilities, file integrity monitoring data, and configuration assessment results. It also shows cloud infrastructure monitoring events and regulatory compliance status. If you want to learn more about the Wazuh components, see the Getting started section.
