Virtual machine
We provide an automated way of generating a virtual machine (VM). The generate_ova.sh
script orchestrates the creation of an OVA-formatted VM, ready to run the Wazuh central components.
Requirements
We recommend using a system with at least the following hardware specifications:
CPU (cores) |
RAM (GB) |
---|---|
4 |
8 |
Creating the Wazuh VM
To create the virtual machine follow these steps:
Download our wazuh-packages repository from GitHub and navigate to the
ova/
directory. Select the version, for example,v4.9.2
.$ git clone https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-packages && cd wazuh-packages/ova && git checkout v4.9.2
Execute the
generate_ova.sh
script.$ ./generate_ova.sh
The last command above builds a VM with Wazuh central components. It uses production packages by default. If you're building a pre-release version, you must select the development packages instead.
$ ./generate_ova.sh -r dev
The -r
or --repository
option selects the stage to use for the packages. For example:
prod
: Packages released for production environments.dev
: Pre-release packages for testing and development purposes.
Check all available options by running the following command.
$ ./generate_ova.sh -h
