Wazuh architecture is designed to support agentic AI integration through its existing APIs and programmatic interfaces. Julio Casal (Wazuh) recently shared an early preview of this direction, demonstrating how AI agents can interact with Wazuh deployments to automate workflows, coordinate responses, and reduce manual operational overhead.
One Example: Automated Log Integration
The video above demonstrates how an AI agent can eliminate manual log parsing workflows. The agent receives raw log samples, analyzes their structure, generates the necessary decoders, deploys them to a Wazuh server, tests functionality with Wazuh logtest, and self-corrects any errors—completing in minutes what traditionally required hours of manual regex work.
This is one application of a broader capability.
What Wazuh’s AI-Ready Architecture Enables
Wazuh’s server API and endpoint response mechanisms provide the foundation for AI agents to support operations across multiple domains:
Platform Operations
- Monitor cluster health and agent connectivity
- Generate upgrade plans with validation checkpoints
Deployment and Configuration Management
- Create OS-specific agent deployment procedures
- Verify configuration distribution and telemetry generation
Detection and Response Coordination
- Summarize alert context and extracted evidence
- Recommend response paths
- Support repeatable playbook execution
Lowering the Barrier to Entry
AI agents let teams use natural language instead of mastering complex configurations and APIs. This makes Wazuh accessible to smaller teams without deep security expertise. And because Wazuh is open source, the community can build and share integrations that extend these capabilities.
Design Principles
AI agents should work with Wazuh through coordination, not autonomy. They use Wazuh’s APIs with proper permissions to query the environment, plan actions, execute changes, and verify results. When something’s unclear, they escalate to human operators. This keeps humans in control while letting AI handle the repetitive work that slows down security operations.
