UsmanPrime/Wazuh-Setup — reverse-engineered prompt

Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a beginner friendly home lab guide for setting up a Wazuh SOC using the official OVA, aimed at students or anyone doing this for the first time on a Windows PC. I want it to walk from import to a working dashboard and a connected Windows endpoint, with lots of screenshots and very clear copy and paste commands.

Please cover the part people usually get stuck on, changing the VM network from NAT to bridged in either VirtualBox or VMware, finding the VM IP, opening the dashboard in the browser, and explaining the scary SSL warning in simple words. Also include the common low memory fix for machines with only 4 to 8 GB RAM, especially reducing the indexer memory use, increasing startup timeout, enabling the Wazuh services, rebooting cleanly, and the right service start order if someone has to do it manually.

Then show how to add a Windows agent, start the service, and troubleshoot if the agent registers but does not connect. If needed, look up current Wazuh docs online to verify details.
