Please review or provide your ossec.log file from C:\Program Files (x86)\ossec-agent. It should indicate why ossec-agent.exe is immediately exiting.

Goodmorning, I have the same problem. What can I do?

Goodmorning, I have the same problem. What can I do?

As above please open the Agent manager on the Windows installation and check the previous log messages or follow the path defined above C:\Program Files (x86)\ossec-agent and paste it here. Which Windows version are you using if I might ask?

@MaxDF23 I will set up a virtual machine with win10 and run through the setup. I get back to you, but reading from the log my first impression would be that the authentication key you added to the agent manager is incorrect. Check for whitespace or w/e but I will get back to you once I've tested it myself.

libellux commented 3 years ago

@MaxDF23 I tried to reproduce but I cannot. Environment Windows 10 Pro:

This is my own guide and all the exact steps i followed here make sure that you did open port 1514 and 514 on your server for the agent IP.

Also you're mssing the <client></client> and the <server-ip></server-ip> tags in the end around the server IP section.

Config:

<!-- OSSEC-HIDS Win32 Agent Configuration.
  -  This file is composed of 3 main sections:
  -    - Client config - Settings to connect to the OSSEC server
  -    - Localfile     - Files/Event logs to monitor
  -    - syscheck      - System file/Registry entries to monitor
  -->

<!-- READ ME FIRST. If you are configuring OSSEC-HIDS for the first time,
  -  try to use the "Manage_Agent" tool. Go to Control Panel->OSSEC Agent
  -  to execute it.
  -
  -  First, add a server-ip entry with the real IP of your server.
  -  Second, and optionally, change the settings of the files you want
  -          to monitor. Look at our Manual and FAQ for more information.
  -  Third, start the Agent and enjoy.

  -  Example of server-ip:
  -  <client> <server-ip>1.2.3.4</server-ip> </client>
