Hey guys, I was wondering how do you do automatic backup of the Fleet configs to like Gitlab/Github for versioning?

You can use

fleetctl get packs --with-queries

and

fleetctl get options

to get most of this.

Ow yes that is an option, I was thinking more like if you also want to get the hosts how you could do that and put that in version control.

@SK you would like to be able to create a config file with your hosts in Fleet so you can commit that to a version control system?

I was more like thinking

fleetctl get hosts --json

to have a view of the hosts for like when they go MIA and get removed from fleet you can have a list that you can use later to debug hosts that disappear but are still on and automatically create this and push to like a repo.

You're in luck!

fleetctl get hosts --json

already exists 🙂

Yes I know 😉 but was more thinking best practices on how to ship it to a repo

Rather than shipping it to a repo, what about setting the host expiration to a longer duration (or off) and then hitting the API/fleetctl for that list of hosts to look into?

Hey @zwass I just started using the expiration to declutter the db 😄 I think probably hitting the API every other day might be enough to get a list indeed and putting it somewhere just to have a list of systems we might be missing
