I’m watching office hours — what’s up with catalina? I have a test machine, is there something easy I can do to help?

how long does

system_info

take to run on Catalina? Just want to make sure it’s not endemic to my machine. There were bunch of permissions related on file/folder access, but that was to be expected.

Permission-wise, think the common answer most vendors are using is: If you have a MDP, setup an appropriate profile. If not, get the user to grant full disk access. Let me open my catalina machine to time that

I agree. I just doing a quick and dirty test.

On a test catalina machine, running 4.0.2,

osqueryd -S  'select * from system_info'

takes 0.04s

Thanks. That’s super interesting, this means it’s just my machine. Which is weird, because it’s instantaneous when I am on 10.14, but takes 5+ seconds on 10.15

That is super weird.

Can I ask for one more query? what does

power_sensors

table return? Are all the values -1?

Yes,

-1.00

across the board

Ok, filing a bug for that then

Well, if you built it, it’s not going to have the quarantine bit set, so it’s not gatekeeper
