🚀 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:
⚡️ Git‑Powered Wazuh Rule Deployment Using n8n
🧠 What This Workflow Does in 10 Seconds — Automatically:
✅ Watches GitHub commits — triggers only if the message contains #deploy-wazuh
✅ Checks if commit author is allowed
✅ Sends contextual SOC notifications about deployment attempt
🧪 Downloads & validates rule XML using xmllint
📦 Uploads to Wazuh Manager node only if validation succeeds
♻️ Restarts Wazuh Manager and verifies loading
📢 Sends alert to your team on Telegram (or other medium) with result: success/failure & reasons
🧠 Why Detection Engineers Will Love This:
⏱️ Saves hours weekly — Just commit & chill
🕒 Zero‑delay deployments — Go live instantly
🧪 Stops bad rules before they crash your SIEM
🔁 Rapid iteration — build, commit, done
🧘 No babysitting — Pipeline handles everything
📊 Informative alerts like:
"Rule custom_malware_alert.xml deployed by Mariskarthick – Validation ✅ – Restart 🔁 Completed"
📌 Perfect For:
🛡️ Detection Engineers deploying rules weekly
🏢 MSSPs with multiple Wazuh environments
🚨 Threat Intel teams needing rapid turnaround
💥 This Isn’t Just Automation — It’s Detection Engineering at Its Finest.
Let your GitHub commits trigger real‑time rule deployment — with validation, restart, and SOC alerts built‑in.
Commit. Deploy. Detect.
