Ansible role to install and configure an OSSEC HIDS local install

You can clone this repo directly into your ansible playbook by issuing

git clone https://github.com/auraltension/ansible-role-ossec-local.git roles/ossec-server

or alternatively as a submodule in much the same way

git submodule add https://github.com/auraltension/ansible-role-ossec-local.git roles/ossec-local

You will need to set up variables for admin_email_addresses. I choose to put these in group_vars, such as

admin_email_addresses:
  - [email protected]
  - [email protected]

You can then include this role as part of a playbook such as:

---
- hosts: my_server
  roles:
    - webserver
    - ossec-local
