Description

Wazuh Agent Docker Image with Auto-Registration on Wazuh Server

The Wazuh Agent, encapsulated within a Docker image, comes equipped with an automatic registration feature for seamless integration with the Wazuh server. This versatile implementation is designed to function not only as a standalone Docker container but also as a Kubernetes DaemonSet.

Key Features:

1. Containerization: The Wazuh Agent is encapsulated within a Docker image, promoting portability and ease of deployment across various environments.

2. Auto-Registration: The agent is configured to automatically register with the Wazuh server, streamlining the onboarding process and eliminating manual intervention.

3. Standalone Deployment: The Docker container can be deployed as a standalone entity, offering flexibility for environments that do not utilize orchestration tools.

4. Kubernetes Compatibility: Integrated as a Kubernetes DaemonSet, the Wazuh Agent seamlessly scales across nodes within a Kubernetes cluster, ensuring comprehensive security coverage.

Note: Always refer to the official documentation for detailed configuration options and additional customization possibilities.

This implementation offers a seamless and adaptable solution for incorporating Wazuh security monitoring into both standalone and orchestrated environments.

Run as Kubernetes DaemonSet

Setup environments in wazuh-daemon-sets.yaml like above.

Example:

env:
    - name: JOIN_MANAGER_MASTER_HOST
      value: "wazuh.wazuh.svc.cluster.local"
    - name: JOIN_MANAGER_WORKER_HOST
      value: "wazuh-workers.wazuh.svc.cluster.local"
    - name: JOIN_MANAGER_PROTOCOL
      value: "https"
    - name: NODE_NAME
      valueFrom:
        fieldRef:
          fieldPath: spec.nodeName
    - name: JOIN_MANAGER_USER
      valueFrom:
       secretKeyRef:
         name: wazuh-api-cred
         key: username
    - name: JOIN_MANAGER_PASSWORD
      valueFrom:
        secretKeyRef:
          name: wazuh-api-cred
          key: password
    - name: JOIN_MANAGER_API_PORT
      value: "55000"
    - name: JOIN_MANAGER_PORT
      value: "1514"

And apply template kubectl -f wazuh-daemon-sets.yaml DaemonSet will deploy to wazuh namespace.
