The osquery receiver runs queries run on an osquery's daemon on a schedule and converts the output to logs.

Configuration

The following settings are required:

• queries: list of queries to run on an osquery daemon

The following settings are optional:

• collection_interval (default = 10s): How often queries are run on the system
• extensions_socket (default = /var/osquery/osquery.em): The osquery daemon's extension socket. Used to communicate with osquery on the system.

Getting started

osquery must be installed on the system where the collector is running. Once running as a daemon, the collector can connect to it using osquery's extension socket.

Example queries and data sources for querying are available in the osquery docs.

Example configuration

  osquery:
    collection_internal: 10s
    extensions_socket: /var/osquery/osquery.em
    queries:
      - "select * from certificates"
      - "select * from block_devices"
