Do we have a timeline on when support for 16.04 will be supported? I keep watching http://ossec.wazuh.com/repos/apt/ubuntu/dists/ in hopes of seeing a link for Xenial, but it hasn't shown up yet. 

Should I try installing the packages meant for wily instead?

Thanks.

I just now noticed that this is only for ossec-hids, and not for ossec-wazuh. I'm surprised you guys maintain a repo for ossec-hids and expect people to compile code for ossec-wazuh. That's unfortunate. I believe in using repos wherever possible so that my servers can receive patches when they are released (hence why I was anxiously waiting for xenial to be supported). Otherwise, I may not know when a patch is released, and if I do know, I have to do a manual reinstall of that package separate from my other server maintenance updates. For security, this is not the ideal setup.

Anyways, I do appreciate that you got ossec-hids out for xenial. I will let you know if I run into any issues installing it or using it. Thanks!

Hi, 

you are totally right in regards to Wazuh packages and we are working on that. In the meanwhile my advice is to compile OSSEC Wazuh manager and use existing OSSEC installers for the agents.

In the next few months we plan to release a new version that will include significant changes both in OSSEC manager and agents capabilities. Our goal is to provide good documentation and installers at the same time.

Thank you for the feedback.

Santiago.

Hi Santiago,

Great to hear you will be release a more feature rich version soon.

Will you be providing SALT or Ansible deployment script as well?
I know you have Puppet scripts but I would like to use something that
is agentless.

Hi Conor,

right now we are preparing documentation for Chef (in addition to the one we have for Puppet). In the past we have also deployed OSSEC with other automation tools (CFEngine and Ansible) but it was not in our roadmap to publish scripts/playbooks soon.

In any case I believe there is a Github repository with them: https://github.com/dj-wasabi/ansible-ossec-agent

On the other hand, one important change in terms of deployment is that users should be able to use the API to register agents (instead of the traditional ossec-authd service). This should help with automation. A good example of how to do this is in our blog:


I hope it helps,

Santiago.
