Wazuh is a free, open-source security platform that can provide XDR and SIEM protection for cloud workloads and endpoints.
The platform has four components: Wazuh Indexer, Wazuh Server, Wazuh Dashboard, and Wazuh Agents, each with its own function.
To install the Wazuh Server, a user needs to download a script, make adjustments, and then save the credentials for the future.
After installing the server, one must configure the agents, which can be done via the browser by navigating to the “Agents” section, deploying a new agent, copying the command, and pasting it into the command-line interface of the intended agent.
Restart the Wazuh agents to complete the process, and they should become visible on the server.
