I installed the agent on a Traditional Chinese language system of Windows Server 2003, which I understand is a very outdated operating system. I noticed that some of the logs appear as unrecognized characters on the manager, and they cannot be decoded either. Is there any solution to this issue?

Hi Renee,

Thanks for contacting Wazuh,

Yes the OS is outdated and we recommend upgrading to the supported version of Windows to make sure encoding settings are set properly.

However, researching I see issues #4094 and #9063 have been open about Wazuh compatibility with Chinese characters, you can also monitor them, while I contact the assigned team to see if there has been any progress.
