Wazuh dashboard

The packages generation process is orchestrated by the build-packages.sh script, which is found within the dev-tools/build-packages/ folder of the repository. This script is responsible for bundling plugins into one single application in tar, rpm and/or deb distributions. It takes the following parameters:

  • version

  • revision

  • distribution

  • wazuh-dashboard, wazuh-dashboard-plugins, and wazuh-security-dashboards-plugin package paths

Official packages are built through a GitHub Actions pipeline, however, the process is designed to be independent enough for maximum portability. The building process is self-contained in the application code.

Build manually

Requirements:

  • Docker

Generating zip packages

To use the script you first need to generate the packages from these repositories:

  • wazuh-dashboard

  • wazuh-security-dashboards-plugin

  • wazuh-dashboard-plugins

To build the packages, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the Wazuh dashboard repository and build the application.

    # git clone -b <BRANCH_OR_TAG> https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-dashboard.git
# cd wazuh-dashboard/
# yarn osd bootstrap
# yarn build --linux --skip-os-packages --release

    Example:

    # git clone -b 4.9.0 https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-dashboard.git
# cd wazuh-dashboard/
# yarn osd bootstrap
# yarn build --linux --skip-os-packages --release

  2. Clone the Wazuh Security Dashboards Plugin repository in the plugins folder and build the plugin.

    # cd plugins/
# git clone -b <BRANCH_OR_TAG> https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-security-dashboards-plugin.git
# cd wazuh-security-dashboards-plugin/
# yarn
# yarn build

    Example:

    # cd plugins/
# git clone -b 4.9.0 https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-security-dashboards-plugin.git
# cd wazuh-security-dashboards-plugin/
# yarn
# yarn build

  3. Clone the Wazuh dashboard plugins repository in the plugins folder, move the contents of the plugins folder to the folder where the repository was cloned and build the plugins.

    Note

    The yarn build command requires an entry specifying the OpenSearch Dashboard version. This version can be obtained from the package.json file.

    # cd ../
# git clone -b <BRANCH_OR_TAG> https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-dashboard-plugins.git
# cd wazuh-dashboard-plugins/
# cp -r plugins/* ../
# cd ../main
# yarn
# yarn build
# cd ../wazuh-core/
# yarn
# yarn build
# cd ../wazuh-check-updates/
# yarn
# yarn build

    Example:

    # cd ../
# git clone -b 4.9.0 https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-dashboard-plugins.git
# cd wazuh-dashboard-plugins/
# cp -r plugins/* ../
# cd ../main
# yarn
# yarn build
# cd ../wazuh-core/
# yarn
# yarn build
# cd ../wazuh-check-updates/
# yarn
# yarn build

  4. Zip the packages and move them to the packages folder

    # cd ../../../
# mkdir packages
# cd packages
# zip -r -j ./dashboard-package.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/target/opensearch-dashboards-2.13.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
# zip -r -j ./security-package.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh-security-dashboards-plugin/build/security-dashboards-<OPENSEARCH_VERSION>.0.zip
# zip -r -j ./wazuh-package.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh-check-updates/build/wazuhCheckUpdates-<OPENSEARCH_VERSION>.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/plugins/main/build/wazuh-<OPENSEARCH_VERSION>.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh-core/build/wazuhCore-<OPENSEARCH_VERSION>.zip

    Example:

    # cd ../../../
# mkdir packages
# cd packages
# zip -r -j ./dashboard-package.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/target/opensearch-dashboards-2.13.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
# zip -r -j ./security-package.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh-security-dashboards-plugin/build/security-dashboards-2.13.0.0.zip
# zip -r -j ./wazuh-package.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh-check-updates/build/wazuhCheckUpdates-2.13.0.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/plugins/main/build/wazuh-2.13.0.zip ../wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh-core/build/wazuhCore-2.13.0.zip

At this point you must have three packages in the packages folder:

  • dashboard-package.zip

  • security-package.zip

  • wazuh-package.zip

Using the script

Run the build-packages.sh script in the dev-tools/build-packages/ folder of the repository. The script requires the following parameters:

  • -v: Version of the package.

  • -r: Revision of the package.

  • --deb or --rpm: Distribution of the package.

  • -a: Path to the wazuh-package.zip.

  • -s: Path to the security-package.zip.

  • -b: Path to the dashboard-package.zip.

# cd ../wazuh-dashboard/dev-tools/build-packages/
# ./build-packages.sh -v <VERSION> -r <REVISION> --<DISTRIBUTION_(--deb_OR_--rpm)> -a file:///<PATH_TO_wazuh-package.zip> -s file:///<PATH_TO_security-package.zip> -b file:///<PATH_TO_dashboard-package.zip>

Example:

# cd ../wazuh-dashboard/dev-tools/build-packages/
# ./build-packages.sh -v 4.9.0 -r 1 --deb -a file:///packages/wazuh-package.zip -s file:///packages/security-package.zip -b file:///packages/dashboard-package.zip

The package will be generated in the output folder of the same directory where the script is located.

Build with Docker image

With this option you can create an image that has the package in tar.gz format and then if desired you can use the created package to generate the .deb or .rpm file.

  1. Clone the Wazuh dashboard repository.

    # git clone -b <BRANCH_OR_TAG> https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-dashboard.git
# cd wazuh-dashboard/dev-tools/build-packages/

    Example:

    # git clone -b 4.9.0 https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-dashboard.git
# cd wazuh-dashboard/dev-tools/build-packages/

  2. Build the Docker image with the following parameters:

    • NODE_VERSION: Node version to use in the .nvmrc file.

    • WAZUH_DASHBOARDS_BRANCH: Branch of the Wazuh dashboards repository.

    • WAZUH_DASHBOARDS_PLUGINS: Branch of the Wazuh dashboards Plugins repository.

    • WAZUH_SECURITY_DASHBOARDS_PLUGIN_BRANCH: Branch of the Wazuh Security Dashboards Plugin repository.

    • OPENSEARCH_DASHBOARDS_VERSION: Version of the OpenSearch Dashboards. You can find the version in the package.json file of the Wazuh dashboards repository.

    • -t: Tag of the image.

    # docker build \
--build-arg NODE_VERSION=<NODE_VERSION> \
--build-arg WAZUH_DASHBOARDS_BRANCH=<BRANCH_OF_wazuh-dashboard> \
--build-arg WAZUH_DASHBOARDS_PLUGINS=<BRANCH_OF_wazuh-dashboard-plugins> \
--build-arg WAZUH_SECURITY_DASHBOARDS_PLUGIN_BRANCH=<BRANCH_OF_wazuh-security-dashboards-plugin> \
--build-arg OPENSEARCH_DASHBOARDS_VERSION=<OPENSEARCH_DASHBOARDS_VERSION> \
-t <TAG_OF_IMAGE> \
-f wazuh-dashboard.Dockerfile .

    Example:

    # docker build \
--build-arg NODE_VERSION=18.19.0 \
--build-arg WAZUH_DASHBOARDS_BRANCH=4.9.0 \
--build-arg WAZUH_DASHBOARDS_PLUGINS=4.9.0 \
--build-arg WAZUH_SECURITY_DASHBOARDS_PLUGIN_BRANCH=4.9.0 \
--build-arg OPENSEARCH_DASHBOARDS_VERSION=2.13.0 \
-t wzd:4.9.0 \
-f wazuh-dashboard.Dockerfile .

  3. Run the Docker image:

    # docker run -d --rm --name wazuh-dashboard-package <TAG_OF_IMAGE> tail -f /dev/null

    Example:

    # docker run -d --rm --name wazuh-dashboard-package wzd:4.9.0 tail -f /dev/null

  4. Copy the package to the host:

    # docker cp wazuh-dashboard-package:/home/node/packages/. <PATH_TO_SAVE_THE_PACKAGE>

    Example:

    # docker cp wazuh-dashboard-package:/home/node/packages/. /

    This copies the final package and the packages that were used to generate the final package.

  5. Optional. If you want to generate the .deb or .rpm file, you can use the script launcher.sh in the dev-tools/build-packages/rpm/ or dev-tools/build-packages/deb/ folder of the repository with the following parameters:

    • -v: Version of the package.

    • -r: Revision of the package.

    • -p: Path to the package in tar.gz format generated in the previous step

    # ./launcher.sh -v <VERSION> -r <REVISION> -p <PATH_TO_PACKAGE>

    Example:

    # ./launcher.sh -v 4.9.0 -r 1 -p file:///wazuh-dashboard-4.9.0-1-linux-x64.tar.gz

The package will be generated in the output folder of the rpm or deb folder.
