Hi all, I am new to this amazing tool... I would like to see/review the code and may be imagine an extension... Is there any help/documentation for beginners about how to create a development environment to work easily? I normally use ubuntu and vscode. Any help will be really appreciated!

Hi! We have a build guide here: https://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/building/

thank you very much... Really appreciated @alessandrogario!

Let us know if you encounter any issue in the build process

sure!!

You can also join #officehours if you are interested, it's once every two weeks

I would love too. Thank you very much for the invite.

I would additionally suggest to install the CMake extension in vscode and additional add

-DADD_HEADERS_AS_SOURCES=ON

to CMake, so that most of the headers that might be trickier to detect by vscode are seen by it. Also remember to put those configuration options in the CMake extension itself so that the extension will configure the same thing you have given from the command line. Finally if you are exploring before building, you might want to at least build the

prepare_for_ide

target. This is a special target that does some build steps to help the IDE find what it needs (because we have to generate some files and wire headers in a certain way).

Also worth mentioning, that extensions do not have to be in c++. Osquery talks to the extensions over a thrift socket, so anything that supports thrift should work. We distributed python and golang SDKs. The c++ is a little weird. And I’ve used ruby, though we don’t ship anything to make that easy

Amazing! I followed all your instructions and everything works smoothly. Thank you very much @alessandrogario, @Stefano Bonicatti ans @seph.

We have a section dedicated to this in the office hours schedule! We are happy to help 🙂

Thank you very much!! 🙂
