ossec.conf: Global options

Overview

Supported types

Global options are available in the the following installation types:

• server
• local

Location

All global options must be configured in the /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf and used within the <ossec_config> tag.

XML excerpt to show location:

<ossec_config>
    <global>
        <!--
        Global options here
        -->
    </global>
</ossec_config>

Options

Note

If the smtp_server entry contains a hostname, /etc/resolv.conf will probably have to be copied to OSSEC’s etc directory (/var/ossec/etc by default).
