Wazuh on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Wazuh on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Wazuh is an open-source SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) platform for threat detection, log data analysis, file integrity monitoring, vulnerability detection and regulatory compliance. This cloudimg image installs the all-in-one Wazuh stack - the Wazuh indexer (OpenSearch-based), the Wazuh manager and the Wazuh dashboard - on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, stores its data on a dedicated Azure data disk, and rotates the admin password to a unique per-VM value on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

SIEM / XDR

Threat detection, log analysis, file integrity monitoring, vulnerability detection and compliance reporting. Wazuh agents (Linux, Windows, macOS) connect to the manager on ports 1514/1515 and stream security telemetry to the indexer and dashboard.

All-in-One Stack

The Wazuh indexer (the OpenSearch-based search/storage engine), the Wazuh manager (the analysis engine + filebeat), and the Wazuh dashboard (the web UI on HTTPS 443) - all on one VM.

Dedicated Data Disk

The indexer data and the manager state live on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk mounted at /var/lib/wazuh, separate from the OS disk and re-provisioned with every VM.

Secure First Boot

The admin password is rotated to a unique per-VM value on the first boot of every VM, across the indexer, dashboard and filebeat, and written to a root-only file. No shared default credential ships in the image.
