-The wazuh-states-fim-files-* indices
-------------------------------------
-
-The ``wazuh-states-fim-files-*`` index stores information about files and directories being monitored by the Wazuh File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) module. Each record within this index represents the state of a file or directory on an endpoint at the time it was scanned. This includes metadata such as file paths, permissions, ownership, and cryptographic hashes.
-
-By keeping track of these details, the index provides a baseline snapshot of the monitored file systems. When changes occur, like a file being created, modified, or deleted, Wazuh can compare the new state against the information in this index to quickly detect anomalies.
-
-In practical terms, this index serves as a historical ledger of the monitored endpoint's file system, ensuring that system integrity can be validated and investigated whenever suspicious activity arises. For example, if you navigate to **File Integrity Monitoring** > **Inventory** > **Files**, you will see information relating to monitored files.

-The wazuh-states-fim-registries-* indices
------------------------------------------
-
-The ``wazuh-states-fim-registries-*`` index stores information collected by the Wazuh File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) module for the Windows Registry on the monitored endpoint. Each document in this index represents the state of a monitored registry key or value, including details such as key paths, permissions, and associated values.
-
-This index acts as a reference point for detecting changes in the Windows Registry. When a key or value is created, modified, or removed, Wazuh compares the new state against the records stored here, allowing administrators to spot unauthorized or suspicious changes.
-
-The Windows Registry is often a target for persistence mechanisms, privilege escalation, and configuration tampering; therefore, this index is important for monitoring system integrity on Windows endpoints. For example, if you navigate to **File Integrity Monitoring** > **Inventory** > **Registry keys** or **Registry values**, you will see information relating to Windows registry keys and values.
