OSSEC notifications and Listen ports


Day after day, I’m getting happier with The OSSEC HIDS.

I started a new virtualhost configuration in my Apache Server to listen in multiple ports. 8001 in this case. Let’s check out what e-mail message OSSEC sent to me. It shows the listen status ports before and after.
