Common Causes of Connection Issues

Before diving into solutions, it?s crucial to understand what could potentially be causing the connection issues with your Wazuh agent:

  • Network Configuration: Firewalls or security groups may be blocking the connection.
  • Configuration Errors: Misconfigured agent or server settings can disrupt connections.
  • Version Incompatibility: Mismatched versions between the Wazuh manager and agent might lead to errors.

  • Overloaded Servers: Performance bottlenecks could cause connection timeouts.

Let?s address some common troubleshooting steps to fix the connection issues:

  1. Check Network Policies: Ensure that the necessary ports are open and IP ranges are correctly specified to allow agent-server communication.
  2. Verify Agent Configuration: Review the ossec.conf and agent.conf files to confirm that the Wazuh manager’s hostname or IP address is correct.
  3. Ensure Compatibility: Make sure both the Wazuh manager and agents are running compatible versions. Update them if necessary.
  4. Validate Certificates: Double-check that the certificates used for the secure connection are properly configured and valid.
