Is there a schedule when Orbit on the stable channel will update osquery to version 5.5.1 or am I misunderstanding how this works?

Hi @marnin! We don't have a specific schedule for bringing new osquery versions to the stable channel.

Thanks for the reply. Interested in the new

unified_log

table for macOS

That's a cool one! If it's something you'd like to play with while you wait, you could deploy 5.5.1 to some hosts with vanilla osquery :)

Yes, that’s probably what I’ll do

We currently have 5.5.1 available on the

edge

channel. You'll get it if you build packages with

--osqueryd-channel=edge

or

--osqueryd-channel=5.5.1

(which would also disable updates because you would be pinning the package to 5.5.1. We will push it to the

stable

channel when osquery project declares it stable.

Good info, thanks for following up. Is pushing to the stable channel when the release is declared stable the general workflow?

Yes it is

This info would make a good addition to the Orbit readme.

@Kathy Satterlee can you please help get this into the docs?

Done! https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/7760 https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/7761
