This is a first aproach to a brief documentation about Babel.

Babel Enterprise Agent is a script to audit hardening of your OS. It runs modules and create a data packet in XML who is sended across network to Babel Enterprise Server, who process it and store in Babel Database. User Interface for reporting, and data manipulation is provided by Babel Enterprise Console.

Babel Enterprise Agent, runs locally and checks all modules contained in /modules directory. Please, before run it, read docs available in http://babel.sourceforge.net.


First run
---------

Once you have edited babel_agent.conf, run babel agent it's easy:

 ./babel.sh <home_dir> [<module_name>]

Home dir is directory where you have installed/deployed Babel Enterprise Agent, p.e: /opt/babel

Module name, its a optional parameter to exec ONLY one module, passed as parameter, p.e: network

Babel generate a log file in /log, currently a errorlog is provided too. It's very useful to keep your own modules errors.
