just saw kolide a few days ago and set up a server yesterday with two nodes - had a noob question about the data model: Can it be configured so that data is searched at the endpoint for some nodes and then other nodes forward data to the fleet server to be searched there?

What is
node
in this scenario? A server running Fleet or an endpoint running osqueryd?
a
endpoint running osqueryd
right now, only one fleet server
storage is a bit tight here so being able to leverage the endpoints would be cool 🙂

The queries run on the endpoint and the results are shipped to Fleet. You can filter what endpoints run what queries using labels.
and endpoints can have labels automatically applied to them by the results of queries

sweet, thank you for clarifying that!

It is not built the way you’re asking. Fleet (and osquery) aren’t a distributed system like that. Fleet gathers information, and then works with it locally. You can forward logs from fleet to something like ELK if that’s your direction

thanks @sundsta and @seph
