Deploying Wazuh agents on HP-UX endpoints

Warning

Support for HP-UX systems ends in Wazuh 5.0.0.

The installed 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.

Note

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

  1. To start the installation process, download the HP-UX installer.

  2. Create the wazuh user and group.

    # groupadd wazuh
# useradd -G wazuh wazuh

  3. Decompress the package in /.

    # gzip -d wazuh-agent-4.13.1-1-hpux-11v3-ia64.tar.gz
# tar -xvf wazuh-agent-4.13.1-1-hpux-11v3-ia64.tar

  4. Edit the /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf file and replace <WAZUH_MANAGER_IP_ADDRESS> with the IP address of the Wazuh manager:

    <client>
  <server>
    <address><WAZUH_MANAGER_IP_ADDRESS></address>
  </server>
</client>

    To learn more about this enrollment method, see the Linux/Unix agent enrollment via agent configuration section.

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

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

The installation process is now complete and the Wazuh agent is now successfully running on your HP-UX endpoint.
