FAQ

Does it modify my Wazuh alerts? No. It reads wazuh-alerts-* and stores all workflow state in its own indices. Your raw alerts are never changed.

Is it official? No — it's an unofficial community plugin, not produced or endorsed by Wazuh Inc.

Which versions are supported? Wazuh 4.12 / 4.13 / 4.14 (OpenSearch Dashboards 2.19.1 / 2.19.2 / 2.19.5). Use the matching ZIP; Dashboard requires an exact target-version match.

Do I need to reindex anything? No for fresh installs. The one exception: very old installs where assigned_to was mapped as text need a reindex for analyst metrics to aggregate — see Troubleshooting.

Does the AI feature send my data to a third party? Only if you explicitly enable it and configure a provider/key, and even then only an allowlisted projection of an alert — never the raw document, and never comment bodies. See Security Model#ai-egress.

Can it automatically close or assign alerts? Yes — via Automation Rules. "Set status = Closed" is auto-close; "Assign to" is auto-assign. Always Dry-run a rule first.

Can it push responses back to agents (Active Response)? Not in this release — it's deliberately deferred pending a security review.

Where does automation run — will it double-fire with multiple dashboards? No. Rules run inside the sync tick under a leader lock, so there is a single writer across replicas. See Architecture.

How do I install it in Docker or Kubernetes? Bake it into a custom dashboard image and reference that image. See Installation#container-deployments-docker--kubernetes.
