hi osquery team, what is the best way to file a feature request? Issue on GH? Should I try to attend an office hours session? 🙏
s
You are welcome to do either. But remember that osquery is primarily a volunteer project, so there is very little guarantee that someone will pick up your request.
We're often happy to help you, if the request fits our general ethos. Want to make a PR?
t
yup totally understood and my expectations align with what you said. It is more around the fact we are really starting to rely on osquery as a core piece of tech in our operations across the org (IT, security, procurement, compliance, etc) and that we want to take advantage of data that is present for some intel macs but not really with Apple Silicon based Macs
s
That usually means apple made it inaccessible. So there may not be much to do. But if you file something, it might start a conversation.
And I would encourage y'all to contribute PRs, especially if it's more important to you
(Always happy to have more people aboard)

thanks! I don't know C langs only have dabbled in go so I have a learning curve to contribute but it would be nice and would love to if I did have those skills
been wanting to learn a lower level language for years just never had the time 😢
s
c++ is... not my favorite. But here I am.
😆
t
I will say I think knowing a C language is likely a fantastic skill, but I just never went down that road. I know Python, SQL, the shells, tiny bit of Ruby, reluctantly learned tiny bit of Perl then only dabbled in Go/Swift a tiny bit lol
s
TBH with python, and a little go dabbling, that's probably enough to fake c++. Mostly -- easy to adjust the code than to start from scratch.
t
noted, now to find the time. I have work and many hobbies lol but I do feel it is worth the time to learn those
but fake C++ lol that sounds funny to me
s
Well, to circle back... Chat here, in an issue, or office hours. Always good to open conversation, as long as everyone is aware there may not be an answer. (Or even someone to dig)
t
yup I get how open source works and get that it is a thankless job and appreciate the maintainers and contributors a ton
