Can Security Onion be setup to monitor Active Directory changes, failed logins, group changes and Windows share access?

Hi Carlton,

Yes, Security Onion includes an OSSEC server that can monitor OSSEC
agents installed on your Active Directory Domain Controllers and
report on the kinds of things you're looking for. In addition, OSSEC
agents also perform file integrity checking and rootkit detection.

Doug,
I work for a non-profit so we don't have a lot of funds for IT, but have security requirements. Thanks for providing a great security tool.
I'm new to SO and OSSEC. I'm assuming OSSEC server can be installed on same server as standalone SO?
Also, do I download Windows agent directly from www.ossec.net? Do you have docs on setup?
Thanks,
Carlton.

You don't need to manually install the OSSEC server.  It's automatically installed and enabled by Security Onion itself.

Yes, Windows agent and documentation are available at www.ossec.net.
 
Thanks,
Carlton.
