Setup OSSEC agent on a CentOS7 system with Alienvault server

2015-05-14

Time to get some OSSEC on and connect an agent to Alienvault…  There is a bunch of people out there that are compiling, and not many using the RPM, or they forget to install both RPMs…

wget -q -O – http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh | sh

yum install ossec-hids ossec-hids-client

add agent config to Alienvault

extract key

# /var/ossec/bin/manage_client
(I – to import the key from Alienvault)

modify /var/ossec/etc/ossec-agent.conf
(change server ip address)

service ossec-hids start

chkconfig ossec-hids on

On the Alienvault server – restart the ossec server in Environment-Detection-HIDS-Ossec Control
