Quick Start

This walks through a minimal single-node cluster.

1. Create a WazuhCluster

apiVersion: wazuh.bnerd.com/v1alpha1
kind: WazuhCluster
metadata:
  name: demo
  namespace: wazuh-demo
spec:
  deploymentMode: single-node
  indexer:
    storage:
      size: 20Gi

kubectl create namespace wazuh-demo
kubectl apply -f wazuhcluster-single-node.yaml

2. Watch it come up

kubectl get wazuhcluster -n wazuh-demo -w
# NAME   MODE          VERSION   PHASE          AGE
# demo   single-node             Provisioning   30s
# demo   single-node   4.14.5    Ready          4m

The operator provisions certificates and credentials, renders configuration, then brings up the indexer, manager and dashboard in order, gating each on readiness.

3. Get the dashboard credentials

The operator generates credentials into the demo-credentials Secret:

kubectl get secret demo-credentials -n wazuh-demo \
  -o jsonpath='{.data.admin-password}' | base64 -d; echo

4. Reach the dashboard

kubectl port-forward -n wazuh-demo svc/demo-dashboard 8443:443
# open https://localhost:8443  (user: admin)
