Also it seems to me that if I have a `overrides` section for a platform i e windows and a flag does not exist in there fleet will not look for it in the main section am I right Meaning if I want to use `overrides` for a platform i need to configure all flags in the `overrides` section even if value is the same

gt from what i see i need to have a section for ubuntu rhel centos isnt it Correct Hosts receive override based on the platform returned by `SELECT platform FROM os version` gt fleet will not look for it in the main section am I right You re right Overrides are NOT merged with the top level configuration The entire config in overrides take precedence over the default config An example config file can be found <https github com fleetdm fleet blob master docs 1 Using Fleet 2 fleetctl CLI md osquery configuration options|here in the documentation>
