  Can I configure VAZUH without having installed agents on the computers?   If I can configure it, what are the steps?

Hi ilian,

I believe you already already Wazuh setup and you need to integrate logs without installing the agent from the endpoint.

You can do this for the Linux servers by sending logs through syslog.
To that you need to configure Wazuh manager to listen syslogs by following documentation.
Ref: https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/capabilities/log-data-collection/syslog.html#configuring-syslog-on-the-wazuh-server

Ensure the Wazuh server allows incoming traffic on the specified syslog port.

Then you need to config syslog in the Linux machine to forward the all logs to Wazuh-manager.

sudo nano /etc/syslog.conf

*.*   @@<Wazuh-server-IP>:514

Then restart the syslog service of the endpoint
sudo systemctl restart syslog

I believe for Windows you need to install Wazuh agent.

But I recommend you to install Wazuh agent to have all functionality like File integrity monitoring, rootcheck etc...
Ref: https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/capabilities/index.html
To install an agent you can follow this.
Ref: https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/installation-guide/wazuh-agent/index.html#wazuh-agent

Let me know if this helps.
