This isn't really the best site for your question -- most of the people here won't be able to offer much assistance since it's about OSSEC configuration and doesn't really have much to do with Splunk or with the Reporting and Management for OSSEC app specifically.

Your best bet would be to ask on the OSSEC Users mailing list.

We are using ossec HIDS 2.8 agentless configuration,

    <type>ssh_integrity_check_linux</type>
    <frequency>360</frequency>
    <host>root@10.128.54.103</host>
    <state>periodic</state>
    <arguments>/xyz_old</arguments>

    <type>ssh_integrity_check_linux</type>
    <frequency>360</frequency>
    <host>root@10.128.21.188</host>
    <state>periodic</state>
    <arguments>/var/ossectest/ossec.txt</arguments>

There are two agentless clients(AIX and Linux) we need to monitor but getting below errors in ossec.log,

2014/09/06 20:44:16 ossec-syscheckd: WARN: Error opening directory: '/xyz_old/xyz': No such file or directory
2014/09/06 20:44:16 ossec-syscheckd: WARN: Error opening directory: '/var/ossectest/ossec.txt': No such file or directory
