Deploying Wazuh on Docker: Simplifying Security Monitoring Configuration
Briefly

A Wazuh stack deployment requires a minimum of 6 GB RAM and a multi-core CPU for optimal performance. An EC2 instance of type t2.xlarge with a 50 GB disk is recommended. It is critical to configure the kernel with max_map_count=262144 to ensure indexing stability. Docker must be installed and configured without root privileges. The Wazuh repository should be cloned, and certificates generated. Updating the Wazuh Dashboard's Docker container to use port 5601 prevents conflicts when using Nginx as a reverse proxy on port 443.
Minimum 6 GB of dedicated RAM and a multi-core CPU are recommended for optimal performance in a complete Wazuh stack deployment.
An EC2 instance type t2.xlarge with a 50 GB disk is appropriate for hosting the Wazuh stack.
Configuring the kernel with max_map_count=262144 ensures stability for the Wazuh Indexer.
Adjusting Wazuh Dashboard's port mapping to 5601:5601 prevents conflicts when using Nginx as a reverse proxy on port 443.
