Osquery uses basic SQL commands to leverage a relational data-model to describe a device.

osquery

Does Free FleetDM update the endpoint OSquery instance and if it does how do you make sure its updating?
I'm sure this question is answered somewhere but I dont know how to phrase this to find it.

According to fleet I have 34 versions of osquery running, some with different plists

Hi <@U0F2BU6D9>!

Yes, fleetd (built via `fleetctl package`) by default will auto-update whenever Fleet pushes updates to the `stable` channels.
Current versions for `edge` and `stable` channels can be found here: <https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/orbit/TUF.md>.

If you are using osquery alone (not fleetd) then osquery alone will not auto-update.

<@U02J4JCKDL2> How do make sure endpoints get the new version of osquery? is there a push to update?
I ask because we have upgrade the server a couple times and we didnt see any upgrades to the endpoints.

Do you use the fleetd agent or osquery alone?

Server upgrades are separate from agent updates.

We use fleetdm sorry i forgot to mention that.
How do you get agent updates?

Without having to rebuild and deploy the agent via external solution (ex. puppet,chef,jamf)

This would have to be set in `agent options`:
