In centOS 9 , when installing wazuh the installation is successful.

Systemctl wazuh agent is started

However the functioning is impacted.

# cat /etc/*-release
CentOS Stream release 9
centos-9-stream latest
NAME="CentOS Stream"
VERSION="9"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="9"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el9"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Stream 9"

On checking , the wazuh user is not created(in /etc/passwd) , however the group "wazuh" is created in /etc/group.

It seems the rpm package have the script to create users and group.

please suggest

Hi,

Hi! Your message isn’t entirely clear could you clarify whether you’re having issues with the Wazuh server, the agent, or both? Also, it would help to know how you deployed Wazuh (e.g., assisted, step by step, OVA, Docker, or another method). You mentioned the agent starts but “functioning is impacted” are you seeing specific errors in the logs, connectivity issues, or something else? A bit more detail will help us point you in the right direction!
