Deploying Wazuh agents on AIX endpoints

Warning

Support for AIX systems ends in Wazuh 5.0.0.

The Wazuh agent runs on the endpoint you want to monitor and communicates with the Wazuh manager, sending data in near real-time through an encrypted and authenticated channel.

The deployment of a Wazuh agent on an AIX system uses deployment variables that facilitate the task of installing, enrolling, and configuring the Wazuh agent.

Note

You need root user privileges and Bash to run all the commands described below.

  1. To start the deployment process, download the AIX installer.

  2. Run the command below to deploy the Wazuh agent to your endpoint. Replace the WAZUH_MANAGER value with your Wazuh manager IP address or hostname:

    # WAZUH_MANAGER="10.0.0.2" rpm -ivh wazuh-agent-4.13.1-1.aix.ppc.rpm

    For additional deployment options such as agent name, agent group, and registration password, see Deployment variables for AIX section.

    Note

    Alternatively, if you want to install an agent without registering it, omit the deployment variables. To learn more about the different registration methods, see the Wazuh agent enrollment section.

  3. Start the Wazuh agent to complete the installation process:

    # /var/ossec/bin/wazuh-control start

The deployment process is now complete, and the Wazuh agent is successfully running on your AIX endpoint.
