Deploying Osquery for Endpoint Monitoring

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Deploying osquery across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints for fleet-wide visibility
  • Building threat hunting queries using osquery's SQL interface
  • Monitoring endpoint compliance (installed software, open ports, running services)
  • Integrating osquery data with SIEM or Kolide/Fleet for centralized management

Do not use for real-time alerting (osquery is periodic/on-demand; use EDR for real-time).

Prerequisites

  • Osquery package for target OS (https://osquery.io/downloads)
  • Fleet management server (Kolide Fleet or FleetDM) for enterprise deployment
  • TLS certificates for secure agent-to-server communication
  • Log aggregation pipeline (Filebeat, Fluentd) for osquery result logs
