Hello Adiel!

Wazuh is compatible with AIX systems. The agent is capable of many things, for example: Log data analysis, File integrity monitoring, System inventory and more.

On the other hand, the Agentless monitoring allows to monitor devices via SSH, such as routers, firewalls y switches.
It allows different modes, like Integrity check or Generic Diff for example, but it isn't as flexible as an agent.

So if you need something in particular, you can describe your problem and we'll help you to solve it!
I'll be waiting your comments.
Regards.

Tks for the info, Matias., but I wanna know if its posible to use agentless mode in AIX.

 

The scripts for linux/bds systems could work with AIX system?

 

Regards.

Hello again!

Well, in that case, it is possible. I have tested it in a Debian host, but the steps are the same.
I'll be following the instructions in Agentless monitoring.
For example, we can monitor the output of some commands and check if there is a difference with a Generic Diff:
  • First, add the host your going to monitor with this command. Check if the SSH connection works from the manager to client  to discard any network issue
     /var/ossec/agentless/register_host.sh add wazuh@example_address.com example_password
  • Then, create a new section in your ossec.conf file with the desired commands and restart the Manager
    <agentless>
      <type>ssh_generic_diff</type>
      <frequency>20000</frequency>
      <host>wazuh@example_address.com</host>
      <state>periodic_diff</state>
      <arguments>ls -la /etc; cat /etc/passwd</arguments>
    </agentless>
  • You should see some entries in your ossec.log file that confirm everything is working
    ...
    2021/01/21 20:15:52 ossec-agentlessd: INFO: Test passed for 'ssh_generic_diff'.
    2021/01/21 20:16:53 ossec-agentlessd: INFO: ssh_generic_diff: wa...@192.168.0.88: Started.
    2021/01/21 20:16:53 ossec-agentlessd: INFO: ssh_generic_diff: wa...@192.168.0.88: Starting.
    2021/01/21 20:16:53 ossec-agentlessd: INFO: ssh_generic_diff: wa...@192.168.0.88: Finished.
    ...

  • If something changes in these folders, you'll see an alert like this one (extracted from alerts.log)
         2021 Jan 21 20:17:54 (ssh_generic_diff) wa...@192.168.0.88->agentless
    Rule: 555 (level 7) -> 'Integrity checksum for agentless device changed.'
    ossec: agentless: Change detected:

If you have any problem with this configuration, don't hesitate contacting us again.
