wazuh-modulesd: WARNING: The 'vulnerability-detector' configuration is deprecated, please update your settings to use the new 'vulnerability-detection' instead

[peerlesssec]

Today we have upgraded our Wazuh from 4.7 to 4.8 and received the message in vulnerability dashboard "Vulnerability detection seems to be disabled or has a problem
Please check the cluster status. Also, you can check the vulnerability detection documentation.

I have changed the ossec.conf file as:

yes
yes
5m
60m
<min_full_scan_interval>6h</min_full_scan_interval>
<run_on_start>yes</run_on_start>
......
.......

Please help to fix the issue.

Thanks & Regards,
Suman Banerjee

Hello.

As it is said in the logs, the Vulnerability Detector module has been deprecated, and now it is refactored to the Vulnerability Detection module. If you have upgraded to 4.8, it is expected the old Vulnerability Detector does not work. More related information is here.

To solve this issue, we have dedicated documentation that explains how to migrate to this new module. Please, take a look to it: https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/capabilities/vulnerability-detection/configuring-scans.html#configuring-vulnerability-detection.

Hope it helps!
