Git‑Powered Wazuh Rule Deployment Using n8n

🚀 Say Goodbye to Manual Rule Deployments in Wazuh!

Just Commit — Let Your Pipeline Auto‑Deploy via GitHub + n8n 🎯

👨‍💻 Tired of This Endless Cycle?

Create rule → Validate → Copy to server → Restart Wazuh → Notify team

Repeat that every week — you’re spending more time deploying than detecting.

What if one GitHub commit could do it all automatically?

✅ Validate

✅ Deploy

✅ Restart

✅ Notify — without touching the server.

Well, this workflow does just that.

🔥 Presenting:
