hi, i am trying to use

character_frequencies

map specified here (https://github.com/osquery/osquery/blob/4.6.0/tools/deployment/osquery.example.conf) with osquery 4.5.0. but osquery reports error while parsing the config

"The character_frequencies configuration entity array is not valid. Entry #0 is not a double"

.. while looking at osquery code, it seems the value 0.0 in character_frequencies map json is stored as just 0 in character_frequencies_array for which

character_frequencies_array[i].IsDouble()

check is not working. while other values in character_frequencies map such as

0.00045

are stored and parsed correctly. please suggest / confirm in this regard. thanks in advance.

I don’t think json differentiates between ints and floats. So

1.0

will be canonicalized to

1

. I think there’s an osquery bug, in that we this should accept ints as well as floats

should i report this on github as issue?

Yes please! Slack tends to be pretty ephemeral. I think it’s a real bug, that’s a better place to flag them

thanks
