08/18/2021, 7:35 AMthrough which function does client hit the server and how does orbit update osquery on client side, I mean what function is specific to that in orbit and like what is the work of tuf.fleetctl.com in this and what does it do, like does it help in updation or stuff like that and in how much time does client hit the server/poll the server or like server hits the client?

08/18/2021, 1:38 PMhi! are you asking for specific parts of the code? Orbit does updates using The Update Framework, you can read more about how that works in here https://theupdateframework.io/

08/18/2021, 5:51 PMI also wanted to know that how to debug the code on the specified like 79 which you specified to find out all this stuff

08/18/2021, 5:54 PMit's configurable
Tomas Touceda
08/18/2021, 5:55 PMas to how to debug, are you asking how to debug a Go application in general? or are you having trouble running orbit from source?

08/18/2021, 6:06 PMI mean whenever I debug I am debugging orbit source code from cmd/pkg.go, I want to debug it from orbit.go and launch my code for debbuging from there, what arguments should I pass to the debugger is my doubt.

08/18/2021, 6:07 PMdepends on your setup. If you use GoLand as an IDE, it's pretty easy

08/19/2021, 5:39 AMI was having error while debugging this and it gave shell command error but the I commented it out and debugged and got this error that you can see at the bottom.

08/19/2021, 1:22 PMgot this error that you can see at the bottom.sounds like you might not have enough permissions to write to that directory

Tomas Touceda
08/20/2021, 11:32 AMI believe this is something that has been discussed a few times in #general, I don't recall the outcome of it

t
Tomas Touceda
08/23/2021, 4:40 PMit probably can, just like any other daemon, but renaming it is not part of the set of standard configurable things in osquery
