64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe, then Continue to Configuration, and launch the AMI.
- Choose the Recommended Instance Type
Select t2.medium or higher for optimal Wazuh SIEM performance. Larger instance types improve indexing, dashboard responsiveness, and agent capacity.
- Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
- 22 (SSH) - For secure terminal access
- 80 (HTTP) - Required temporarily for SSL validation
- 443 (HTTPS) - Secure access to Wazuh Dashboard
For monitoring external endpoints (agents):
- 1514-1515 (TCP) - Agent communication
Optional (can add later):
- 514 (UDP) - Syslog collection
- 55000 (TCP) - API access
- Connect to the Instance
Use SSH to connect: ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
- First-Boot Setup (Guided)
On first login, an interactive guided setup will automatically start:
- Detects public IP
- Prompts for domain name
- Validates DNS A-record if domain provided
- Asks for admin email for SSL certificate
- Generates secure admin password (stored in /opt/app/admin_password.txt and /opt/app/.env)
- Configures Apache reverse proxy with SSL
- Deploys Wazuh stack using Docker Compose
- Displays access URL & credentials (~5-7 minutes)
- DNS Configuration
Before setup, add this DNS A-record if using custom domain:
yourdomain.com <your-instance-public-IP>
- Automatic SSL Setup
After DNS validation:
- Enables HTTPS access via Let's Encrypt certificate
- Redirects HTTP to HTTPS automatically
- Configures security headers
- Start / Restart Wazuh Manually (if needed)
cd /opt/app docker compose ps docker compose restart
Persistent volumes preserve security events, logs, and configurations across restarts.
- Access the Wazuh Dashboard
Open your browser and visit: https://<your-domain> (or) https://<public-ip>
Credentials are printed after setup and saved in:
/opt/app/admin_password.txt /opt/app/.env
Default user:
Username: admin Password: <auto-generated-password>
- Retrieve Credentials Anytime
cat /opt/app/admin_password.txt cat /opt/app/.env
Files contain: password, domain, email, and version information.
- Deploy Wazuh Agents
From Dashboard: Agents > Deploy new agent Select OS (Windows/Linux/macOS) and follow installation commands. Agents connect to ports 1514/1515.
- Troubleshooting
View logs: docker compose logs wazuh.dashboard
Check status: docker compose ps
Reset installation: sudo rm /var/log/wazuh-first-login-done bash /opt/app/failsafe.sh
