Nice! “ACT” for anyone searching (automatic table construction)

this is true

Was about to say "will fix ASAP", but double-plus since it's @nyanshak!

you should chat w/ AB! https://www.linkedin.com/in/abubakar-yousafzai-b7213659/

likely the origin of the `carbon_black_info` table https://fleetdm.com/tables/carbon_black_info

We just launched open-source Windows MDM in Fleet: https://fleetdm.com/device-management

(used in production directly or via major EDRs by much of silicon valley, governments, and the F1000)

Some example queries: https://fleetdm.com/queries

The formula osquery uses to report performance: https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/16123

Having paved roads helps: https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet

Feel your pain! This was the idea behind query performance "bubbles" in Fleet. (Uses the osquery performance metadata to indicate whether performance impact of a query on a host is "minimal", "considerable", or "excessive")

Next step is "clairvoyance", where we predict perf based on the SQL when you're in the query editor

me and my brother-in-law Eric built this table viewer: https://fleetdm.com/tables

(it's got an extra layer of metadata with examples. Supports markdown in the yaml for most fields. Contributions welcome!!)

Started as people sending scripts back and forth, like The Postal Service

They did an amazing feat of engineering. Mike Arpaia's brainchild, co-created by my cofounder zwass at Fleet, and massively improved by seph (@directionless), ted reed, alessandro, sharvil, and many others: https://github.com/osquery/osquery/graphs/contributors

There’s also a podcast episode on it with two of the creators: "The story behind the creation of osquery" https://fleetdm.com/podcasts/the-future-of-device-management...

What did you run into on Linux?

Disclosure #2: I'm the CEO

One of my fav things about this is that we're solving the "Linux MDM problem". As a person who likes to use Linux, it's exciting that, no matter how big the company gets, I can still use whatever OS I want at work (and still be "offboard-able", with everyone passing their audits.)

Source code for Fleet is available at https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet.

Such an interesting man. Quoted his mom in the company values recently: https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company#empathy

""" When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster", I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers—so many caring people in this world. —Fred Rogers """

Hear hear!!
