🛡 Wazuh Mastery Pack · 02 of 15 — CLI Commands
The Wazuh GUI is great. The CLI is where you actually solve problems at 2am.
This cheat sheet is the muscle memory I wish I'd had on day one — service control, agent management, live log testing with wazuh-logtest, cluster operations, and the file paths you'll touch a thousand times.
Three commands every Wazuh operator should burn into memory:
🔹 /var/ossec/bin/wazuh-control configtest
→ validates ossec.conf BEFORE you restart in production. Has saved me from at least three outages.
🔹 /var/ossec/bin/wazuh-logtest
→ paste a raw log line, see exactly which decoder and which rule fires (or doesn't). Single best tool for tuning custom rules.
🔹 /var/ossec/bin/agent_control -l
→ shows every agent and its connection status. Faster than the dashboard when you just need a quick health check.
If you operate Wazuh and aren't using these, you're doing it the hard way.
