[ossec-list] Granular Email Alerting, alert for a certain host
I've got a question regarding OSSEC 1.2 with the granular email alerting capability. I'm struggling with the configuration options; ideally I want to be able to alert a certain recipient for any
event that occurs on a certain server/IP address. I'm not using any remote agents, instead, I've got OSSEC pointed at log files collected by syslog-ng. This solution works great and I've been quite
pleased with OSSEC, however, I'd love to get the granular option working.
I've tried creating a rule in local_rules.xml that matches on hostname and then binding email_alerts to that rule, however, it doesn't work. Below is that configuration, with recipient and domain
intentionally obfuscated. I'm open to any solution that would enable me to alert recipient2@xxxxxxxxxxxx on alerts affecting hostname 10.125.110.2.
[ossec.conf snippet]
<global>
<email_notification>yes</email_notification>
<email_to>recipient1@xxxxxxxxxxxx</email_to>
<smtp_server>smtp_relay.mydomain.com</smtp_server>
<email_from>ossecm@xxxxxxxxxxxx</email_from>
<!-- Disable Stats, "We got X alerts more than hour Y" -->
<stats>0</stats>
<!--
<email_alerts>
<email_to>recipient2@xxxxxxxxxxxx</email_to>
<rule_id>20000000</rule_id>
</email_alerts>
-->
</global>
[local_rules.xml snippet]
<!-- Email alert groups -->
<group name="syslog">
<rule id="20000000" level="7">
<hostname>10.125.110.2</hostname>
</rule>
</group>
