The screenshot shows the “Overview” page of the Wazuh web interface. All functions can be accessed centrally from here.
The “Configuration Assessment” feature regularly checks systems against predefined guidelines (e.g., CIS benchmarks) for hardening and security configuration weaknesses and reports which checks were passed or failed.
The “File Integrity Monitoring” feature monitors specified files and directories for changes (creation, modification, deletion) and reports when and by whom the contents, permissions, or attributes have been changed.

What is the Wazuh Agent?
The Wazuh Agent is a software component that is installed on endpoints such as servers, workstations or virtual machines to collect security-relevant data such as logs, system events and configuration changes. This information is sent to the Wazuh server, where it is analyzed and checked for potential threats. The agent thus enables detailed monitoring and threat detection on the monitored systems in real time.
What does the Wazuh agent do?
The Wazuh Agent collects security-relevant data such as system logs, file changes, processes and network activities from endpoints such as servers and workstations. This data is transmitted to the Wazuh server, where it is analyzed to identify threats, anomalies and vulnerabilities. The agent thus helps to ensure real-time security monitoring and compliance checks on the monitored systems.
How do I install the Wazuh Agent?
To install the Wazuh Agent, first download the installation script or package for your operating system from the official Wazuh website or use the package manager of the respective system (e.g. `apt` for Ubuntu). After installation, configure the agent file (`ossec.conf`) to connect to the Wazuh server by specifying the server IP and other relevant parameters. Finally, start the agent with the command `sudo systemctl start wazuh-agent` and register it with the Wazuh server to activate the data transfer.
Why do I need Wazuh?
Wazuh is needed to protect IT infrastructures through comprehensive security monitoring, threat detection and compliance management. It helps to detect and react to security-relevant events such as intrusion attempts, vulnerabilities or configuration deviations in real time.
