SIEM Interface Overview

The SIEM module consists of two main components: the SIEM Dashboard (agent-based security monitoring powered by Wazuh) and the Alerts Interface (native alerting, incident management, and risk scoring).

SIEM Dashboard

The SIEM Dashboard provides security monitoring through agents installed on monitored hosts. It presents data as a set of dashboard cards organized in four sections.

Note

The SIEM Dashboard requires Wazuh agents to be installed and connected on monitored systems. Without active agents, dashboard cards will show no data.

Alerts Interface

Navigation: ELS Console → SIEM

The native Alerts interface provides alerting, incident management, risk scoring, and playbook capabilities. It consists of six tabs:

Tab

Description

Details

Incidents

Manage triggered alert incidents — assign, update status, add notes

See Incident Management

Risks

Create risk categories and map field values to risk scores

See Risk Management

Playbook

Define response procedures and scripts for alert rules

See Playbooks

Alert Rules

Create, manage, enable/disable, and test alert rules

See Alerting System

Alert Status

Monitor alert processing — activation status, event counts, run times

See Alerts Status

Create Alert Rule

Single-page form for defining new alert rules

See Alert Creation

Workflow

The tabs work together in a detection-to-response workflow:

  1. Alert Rules define detection logic and notification methods.

  2. When a rule triggers, an Incident is created automatically.

  3. Playbooks associated with the rule provide response guidance and scripts.

  4. Risk scoring prioritizes incidents based on entity risk categories.
