Wazuh services fail to start after reboot on Debian/Ubuntu

A well-known issue on all-in-one installations: Wazuh services (wazuh-indexer, wazuh-manager, wazuh-dashboard) have no After= dependencies in their systemd units, causing race conditions on boot. Symptoms: dashboard returns "server is not ready yet", indexer enters failed state, or manager fails due to a missing PID file.

• 🟡 wazuh-indexer #201 - Indexer fails after reboot: missing /var/log/wazuh-indexer/gc.log directory
• 🟡 wazuh-packages #1962 - Indexer enters failed state on reboot (v4.4.0+)
• 🟡 wazuh/wazuh #31037 - Permission denied on GC log at JVM startup

Workaround: create a systemd override to enforce startup order:

# /etc/systemd/system/wazuh-manager.service.d/override.conf
[Unit]
After=wazuh-indexer.service network-online.target

# /etc/systemd/system/wazuh-dashboard.service.d/override.conf
[Unit]
After=wazuh-indexer.service network-online.target

Then reload: systemctl daemon-reload. If the indexer still needs extra time to initialize, add ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 15 to the dashboard override.
