Hrm. Now that you say that… If you’re using launcher, it should be disabled already.

@seph So launcher disables the stock osqueryd watchdog? Does it implement the same functionality, just within launcher itself?

The watchdog is disabled, yes. This is at https://github.com/kolide/launcher/blob/bb9f5887bd9c8f402ecfb1e36bded76f73a0f354/pkg/osquery/runtime/runtime.go#L147 IIRC it was disabled because the way the watchdog manages the processes doesn’t play well with launcher.

Ok understood, thanks
