The new "Policies" feature looks really promising 🎉 Something I found, I formulated a simple query that checks whether at least one drive is bitlocker encrypted. While the UI looks great, on my Linux machines I get now warnings that the bitlocker tables are missing. Is it planned to tie checks to labels as it is for packs? Or is there another SQL-workaround that tries to see if the table present / os = win and only then performs the second part of the query (think of the logical
&&
operator that omits evaluating the second part if the 1st fails).

I get now warnings that the bitlocker tables are missing.
Ah, yes. This is because the
bitlocker_info
table is only available on Windows machines. Are these “warnings” something you see in the Fleet UI or somewhere else?
Is it planned to tie checks to labels as it is for packs?
I can see how it would be useful to have more control over which polices are run against which devices (maybe especially if your Fleet has devices with different OS’s) Can you please file a feature request issue that describes your use case here on GitHub? https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet
I formulated a simple query that checks whether at least one drive is bitlocker encrypted.
It would be awesome if you were interested in contributing this policy to Fleet’s standard query library so that other members of the Fleet/osquery community can utilize/adapt your policy. Instructions on contributing are here: https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/tree/main/docs/01-Using-Fleet/standard-query-library#contributors If it’s easier, please feel free to include the policy in this thread!

RE standard library: it's basically the inverse of @zwass's query here, so I wouldn't duplicate:
Copy code
apiVersion: v1
kind: query
spec:
  name: Get Windows machines with unencrypted hard disks
  platforms: Windows
  description:
  query: SELECT * FROM bitlocker_info WHERE protection_status = 0;
  purpose: Informational
  contributors: zwass
But this raises another general question, whether the std-library and policies should be better linked? RE feature request: will do
Looking more in the details, it seems like the policy query is executed not every hour, but every few secs. This yields that the machine showed as offline (probably as no other queries were executed).
