Automated Wazuh Rule Deployment Pipeline with GitHub, XML Validation & Telegram Alerts

Description

🚀 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.*
