hey all, is it possible to use something other than Redis for fleet/osquery? is it possible to not use it at all and instead just use SQL?

Fleet needs redis to ingest and queue the results of distributed queries and to cache data. The Live query feature will not work without it.

alright, so for best security practices is it best to keep redis on its own server, password lock it, and lock this down so only the servers running Fleet can contact the Redis server?

yes to all of the above. Feel free to join us in #kolide where there are other users of Fleet

oh cool! sorry if this was the wrong channel for this 🙂

No need to apologize, thanks for trying out Fleet
