Fleet can be managed with configuration files (YAML syntax) and the fleetctl command line tool. This page tells you how to write these configuration files.

Changes are applied to Fleet when the configuration file is applied using fleetctl. Check out the fleetctl documentation to learn how to apply configuration files.

Queries

The queries YAML file controls queries in Fleet.

You can define one or more queries in the same file with ---.

The following example file includes several queries:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: query
spec:
  name: osquery_info
  description: A heartbeat counter that reports general performance (CPU, memory) and version.
  query: select i.*, p.resident_size, p.user_time, p.system_time, time.minutes as counter from osquery_info i, processes p, time where p.pid = i.pid;
  team: ""
  interval: 3600 # 1 hour
  observer_can_run: true
  automations_enabled: true
---
apiVersion: v1 
kind: query 
spec: 
  name: Get serial number of a laptop 
  description: Returns the serial number of a laptop, which can be useful for asset tracking.
  query: SELECT hardware_serial FROM system_info; 
  team: Workstations
  interval: 0
  observer_can_run: true
--- 
apiVersion: v1 
kind: query 
spec: 
  name: Get recently added or removed USB drives 
  description: Report event publisher health and track event counters. 
  query: |-
    SELECT action, DATETIME(time, 'unixepoch') AS datetime, vendor, mounts.path 
    FROM disk_events 
    LEFT JOIN mounts 
      ON mounts.device = disk_events.device
    ;
  team: Workstations (Canary)
  interval: 86400 # 24 hours
  observer_can_run: false
  min_osquery_version: 5.4.0
  platform: darwin,windows
  automations_enabled: true
  logging: differential

Continued edits and applications to this file will update the queries.

If you want to change the name of a query, you must first create a new query with the new name and then delete the query with the old name.

Labels

The following file describes the labels which hosts should be automatically grouped into. The label resource should include the actual SQL query so that the label is self-contained:

apiVersion: v1
kind: label
spec:
  name: slack_not_running
  query: >
    SELECT * FROM system_info
    WHERE NOT EXISTS (
      SELECT *
      FROM processes
      WHERE name LIKE "%Slack%"
    );

Labels can also be "manually managed". When defining the label, reference hosts by hostname:

apiVersion: v1
kind: label
spec:
  name: Manually Managed Example
  label_membership_type: manual
  hosts:
    - hostname1
    - hostname2
    - hostname3

Enroll secrets

The following file shows how to configure enroll secrets. Enroll secrets are valid until you delete them.

apiVersion: v1
kind: enroll_secret
spec:
  secrets:
    - secret: RzTlxPvugG4o4O5IKS/HqEDJUmI1hwBoffff
    - secret: YBh0n4pvRplKyWiowv9bf3zp6BBOJ13O

Osquery provides the enroll secret only during the enrollment process. Once a host is enrolled, the node key it receives remains valid for authentication independent from the enroll secret.

Currently enrolled hosts do not necessarily need enroll secrets updated, as the existing enrollment will continue to be valid as long as the host is not deleted from Fleet and the osquery store on the host remains valid. Any newly enrolling hosts must have the new secret.

Deploying a new enroll secret cannot be done centrally from Fleet.

Deploying a new enroll secret cannot be done centrally from Fleet.

Enroll secrets must be alphanumeric and should not contain special characters.

Multiple enroll secrets

Fleet allows the abiility to maintain multiple enroll secrets. Some organizations have internal goals around rotating secrets. Having multiple secrets allows some of them to work at the same time the rotation is happening. Another reason you might want to use multiple enroll secrets is to use a certain team enroll secret to auto-enroll hosts into a specific team (Fleet Premium).

Rotating enroll secrets

Rotating enroll secrets follows this process:

1. Add a new secret.
2. Transition existing clients to the new secret. Note that existing clients may not need to be updated, as the enroll secret is not used by already enrolled clients.
3. Remove the old secret.

To do this with fleetctl (assuming the existing secret is oldsecret and the new secret is newsecret):

Begin by retrieving the existing secret configuration:

$ fleetctl get enroll_secret
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: enroll_secret
spec:
  secrets:
  - created_at: "2021-11-17T00:39:50Z"
    secret: oldsecret

Apply the new configuration with both secrets:

$ echo '
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: enroll_secret
spec:
  secrets:
  - created_at: "2021-11-17T00:39:50Z"
    secret: oldsecret
  - secret: newsecret
' > secrets.yml
$ fleetctl apply -f secrets.yml

Now transition clients to using only the new secret. When the transition is completed, remove the old secret:

$ echo '
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: enroll_secret
spec:
  secrets:
  - secret: newsecret
' > secrets.yml
$ fleetctl apply -f secrets.yml

At this point, the old secret will no longer be accepted for new enrollments and the rotation is complete.

A similar process may be followed for rotating team-specific enroll secrets. For teams, the secrets are managed in the team yaml.

Teams

Applies only to Fleet Premium.

The team YAML file controls a team in Fleet.

You can define one or more teams in the same file with ---.

The following example file includes one team:

apiVersion: v1
kind: team
spec:
  team:
    name: Client Platform Engineering
    features:
      enable_host_users: false
      enable_software_inventory: true
      additional_queries:
        time: SELECT * FROM time
        macs: SELECT mac FROM interface_details
    agent_options:
      config:
        decorators:
          load:
            - SELECT uuid AS host_uuid FROM system_info;
            - SELECT hostname AS hostname FROM system_info;
        options:
          disable_distributed: false
          distributed_interval: 10
          distributed_plugin: tls
          distributed_tls_max_attempts: 3
          logger_tls_endpoint: /api/v1/osquery/log
          logger_tls_period: 10
          pack_delimiter: /
      overrides: {}
      command_line_flags: {}
    secrets:
      - secret: RzTlxPvugG4o4O5IKS/HqEDJUmI1hwBoffff
      - secret: JZ/C/Z7ucq22dt/zjx2kEuDBN0iLjqfz
    mdm:
      macos_updates:
        minimum_version: "12.3.1"
        deadline: "2022-01-04"
      macos_settings:
        custom_settings:
          - path/to/profile1.mobileconfig
          - path/to/profile2.mobileconfig
        enable_disk_encryption: true

Team agent options

The team agent options specify options that only apply to this team. When team-specific agent options have been specified, the agent options specified at the organization level are ignored for this team.

The documentation for this section is identical to the Agent options documentation for the organization settings, except that the YAML section where it is set must be as follows. (Note the kind: team key and the location of the agent_options key under team must have a name key to identify the team to configure.)

apiVersion: v1
kind: team
spec:
  team:
    name: Client Platform Engineering
    agent_options:
      # the team-specific options go here

Team secrets

The secrets section provides the list of enroll secrets that will be valid for this team. When a new team is created via fleetctl apply, an enroll secret is automatically generated for it. If the section is missing, the existing secrets are left unmodified. Otherwise, they are replaced with this list of secrets for this team.

• Optional setting (array of dictionaries)
• Default value: none (empty)
• Config file format:

  team:
    name: Client Platform Engineering
    secrets:
      - secret: RzTlxPvugG4o4O5IKS/HqEDJUmI1hwBoffff
      - secret: JZ/C/Z7ucq22dt/zjx2kEuDBN0iLjqfz
  

Modify an existing team

You can modify an existing team by applying a new team configuration file with the same name as an existing team. The new team configuration will completely replace the previous configuration. In order to avoid overiding existing settings, we reccomend retreiving the existing configuration and modifying it.

Retrieve the team configuration and output to a YAML file:

% fleetctl get teams --name Workstations --yaml > workstation_config.yml

After updating the generated YAML, apply the changes:

% fleetctl apply -f workstation_config.yml

Depending on your Fleet version, you may see unsupported key errors for the following keys when applying the new team configuration:

id
user_count
host_count
integrations
webhook_settings
description
agent_options
created_at
user_count
host_count
integrations
webhook_settings

You can bypass these errors by removing the key from your YAML or adding the --force flag. This flag will apply the changes without validation and should be used with caution.

Mobile device management (MDM) settings for teams

The mdm section of this configuration YAML lets you control MDM settings for each team in Fleet.

To specify Team MDM configuration, as opposed to Organization-wide MDM configuration, follow the below YAML format. Note the kind: team field, as well as the name and mdm fields under team.

apiVersion: v1
kind: team
spec:
  team:
    name: Client Platform Engineering
    mdm:
      # the team-specific mdm options go here

Organization settings

The config YAML file controls Fleet's organization settings and MDM features for hosts assigned to "No team."

The following example file shows the default organization settings:

apiVersion: v1
kind: config
spec:
  agent_options:
    config:
      decorators:
        load:
          - SELECT uuid AS host_uuid FROM system_info;
          - SELECT hostname AS hostname FROM system_info;
      options:
        disable_distributed: false
        distributed_interval: 10
        distributed_plugin: tls
        distributed_tls_max_attempts: 3
        logger_tls_endpoint: /api/osquery/log
        logger_tls_period: 10

Settings

All possible settings are organized below by section.

Each section's key must be one level below the spec key, indented with spaces (not <tab> characters) as required by the YAML format.

For example, when adding the host_expiry_settings.host_expiry_enabled setting, you'd specify the host_expiry_settings section one level below the spec key:

apiVersion: v1
kind: config
spec:
  host_expiry_settings:
    host_expiry_enabled: true

Features

The features section of the configuration YAML lets you define what predefined queries are sent to the hosts and later on processed by Fleet for different functionalities.

Note: this section used to be named host_settings, but was renamed in Fleet v4.20.0, host_settings is still supported for backwards compatibility.

features.additional​_queries

This is the additional information to collect from hosts along with the host details. This information will be updated at the same time as other host details and is returned by the API when host objects are returned. Users must take care to keep the data returned by these queries small in order to mitigate potential performance impacts on the Fleet server.

• Optional setting (dictionary of key-value strings)
• Default value: none (empty)
• Config file format:

  features:
    additional_queries:
      time: SELECT * FROM time
      macs: SELECT mac FROM interface_details
  

• Deprecated config file format:

  host_settings:
    additional_queries:
      time: SELECT * FROM time
      macs: SELECT mac FROM interface_details
  

features.enable​_host​_users

Whether or not Fleet sends the query needed to gather user-related data from hosts.

• Optional setting (boolean)
• Default value: true
• Config file format:

  features:
      enable_host_users: false
  

• Deprecated config file format:

  host_settings:
      enable_host_users: false
  

features.enable​_software​_inventory

Whether or not Fleet sends the query needed to gather the list of software installed on hosts, along with other metadata.

• Optional setting (boolean)
• Default value: true
• Config file format:

  features:
      enable_software_inventory: false
  

• Deprecated config file format:

  host_settings:
      enable_software_inventory: false
  

features.detail​_query​_overrides

This feature can be used to override "detail queries" hardcoded in Fleet.

IMPORTANT: This feature should only be used when debugging issues with Fleet's hardcoded queries. Use with caution as this may break Fleet ingestion of hosts data.

• Optional setting (dictionary of key-value strings)
• Default value: none (empty)
• Config file format:

  features:
    detail_query_overrides:
      # null allows to disable the "users" query from running on hosts.
      users: null
      # this replaces the hardcoded "mdm" detail query.
      mdm: "SELECT enrolled, server_url, installed_from_dep, payload_identifier FROM mdm;"
  

Fleet Desktop

For more information about Fleet Desktop, see Fleet Desktop's documentation.

fleet​_desktop.transparency​_url

Available in Fleet Premium. Direct users of Fleet Desktop to a custom transparency URL page.

• Optional setting (string)
• Default value: Fleet's default transparency URL ("https://fleetdm.com/transparency")
• Config file format:

  fleet_desktop:
    transparency_url: "https://example.org/transparency"
  

Host expiry settings

The host_expiry_settings section lets you define if and when hosts should be removed from Fleet if they have not checked in. Once a host has been removed from Fleet, it will need to re-enroll with a valid enroll_secret to connect to your Fleet instance.

host​_expiry​_settings.host​_expiry​_enabled

Whether offline hosts' expiration is enabled. If host_expiry_enabled is set to true, Fleet allows automatic cleanup of hosts that have not communicated with Fleet in some number of days.

• Optional setting (boolean)
• Default value: false
• Config file format:

  host_expiry_settings:
      host_expiry_enabled: true
  

host​_expiry​_settings.host​_expiry​_window

If a host has not communicated with Fleet in the specified number of days, it will be removed.

• Optional setting (integer)
• Default value: 0 (must be > 0 when enabling host expiry)
• Config file format:

  host_expiry_settings:
      host_expiry_window: 10
  

Integrations

For more information about integrations and Fleet automations in general, see the Automations documentation. Only one automation can be enabled for a given automation type (e.g., for failing policies, only one of the webhooks, the Jira integration, or the Zendesk automation can be enabled).

It's recommended to use the Fleet UI to configure integrations since secret credentials (in the form of an API token) must be provided. See the Automations documentation for the UI configuration steps.

Organization information

org​_info.org​_name

The name of the organization.

• Required setting (string)
• Default value: none (provided during Fleet setup)
• Config file format:

  org_info:
      org_name: Fleet
  

org​_info.org​_logo​_url

The URL of the logo of the organization.

This logo is displayed in the top bar and other areas of Fleet that have dark backgrounds.

• Optional setting (string)
• Default value: none (uses Fleet's logo)
• Config file format:

  org_info:
    org_logo_url: https://example.com/logo.png
  

org​_info.org​_logo​_url​_light​_background

The URL of a logo of the organization that can be used with light backgrounds.

Note: this URL is currently only used for the dialogs displayed during MDM migration

• Optional setting (string)
• Default value: none (uses Fleet's logo)
• Config file format:

  org_info:
    org_logo_url_light_background: https://example.com/logo-light.png
  

org​_info.contact​_url

A URL that can be used by end users to contact the organization.

• Optional setting (string)
• Default value: https://fleetdm.com/company/contact
• Config file format:

  org_info:
    contact_url: https://example.com/contact-us
  

Server settings

server​_settings.debug​_host​_ids

There's a lot of information coming from hosts, but it's sometimes useful to see exactly what a host is returning in order to debug different scenarios.

For example, let's say the hosts with ids 342 and 98 are not behaving as you expect in Fleet. You can enable verbose logging with the following configuration:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: config
spec:
  server_settings:
    debug_host_ids:
      - 342
      - 98

Once you have collected the logs, you can easily disable the debug logging by applying the following configuration:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: config
spec:
  server_settings:
    debug_host_ids: []

Warning: This will potentially log a lot of data. Some of that data might be private. Please verify it before posting it in a public channel or a GitHub issue.

• Optional setting (array of integers)
• Default value: empty
• Config file format:

  server_settings:
    debug_host_ids:
      - 342
      - 98
  

server​_settings.deferred​_save​_host

Whether saving host-related information is done synchronously in the HTTP handler of the host's request, or asynchronously. This can provide better performance in deployments with many hosts. Note that this is an experimental feature.

• Optional setting (boolean)
• Default value: false
• Config file format:

  server_settings:
    deferred_save_host: true
  

server​_settings.enable​_analytics

If sending usage analytics is enabled or not.

• Optional setting (boolean)
• Default value: true
• Config file format:

  server_settings:
    enable_analytics: false
  

server​_settings.live​_query​_disabled

If the live query feature is disabled or not.

• Optional setting (boolean)
• Default value: false
• Config file format:

  server_settings:
    live_query_disabled: true
  

server​_settings.server​_url

The base URL of the fleet server, including the scheme (e.g. "https://").

• Required setting (string)
• Default value: none (provided during Fleet setup)
• Config file format:

  server_settings:
    server_url: https://fleet.example.org:8080
  

SMTP settings

It's recommended to use the Fleet UI to configure SMTP since a secret password must be provided. Navigate to Settings -> Organization settings -> SMTP Options to proceed with this configuration.

SSO settings

For additional information on SSO configuration, including just-in-time (JIT) user provisioning, creating SSO users in Fleet, and identity providers configuration, see Configuring single sign-on (SSO).

sso​_settings.enable​_jit​_provisioning

Available in Fleet Premium. Enables just-in-time user provisioning.

• Optional setting (boolean)
• Default value: false
• Config file format:

  sso_settings:
    enable_jit_provisioning: true
  

sso​_settings.enable​_jit​_role​_sync

This setting is now deprecated and will be removed soon. For more information on how SSO login and role syncing works see customization of user roles

sso​_settings.enable​_sso

Configures if single sign-on is enabled.

• Optional setting (boolean)
• Default value: false
• Config file format:

  sso_settings:
    enable_sso: true
  

sso​_settings.enable​_sso​_idp​_login

Allow single sign-on login initiated by identity provider.

• Optional setting (boolean)
• Default value: false
• Config file format:

  sso_settings:
    enable_sso_idp_login: true
  

sso​_settings.entity​_id

The required entity ID is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that you use to identify Fleet when configuring the identity provider. It must exactly match the Entity ID field used in identity provider configuration.

• Required setting if SSO is enabled, must have at least 5 characters (string)
• Default value: ""
• Config file format:

  sso_settings:
    entity_id: "https://example.com"
  

sso​_settings.idp​_image​_url

An optional link to an image such as a logo for the identity provider.

• Optional setting (string)
• Default value: ""
• Config file format:

  sso_settings:
    idp_image_url: "https://example.com/logo"
  

sso​_settings.idp​_name

A required human-friendly name for the identity provider that will provide single sign-on authentication.

• Required setting if SSO is enabled (string)
• Default value: ""
• Config file format:

  sso_settings:
    idp_name: "SimpleSAML"
  

sso​_settings.metadata

Metadata (in XML format) provided by the identity provider.

• Optional setting, either metadata or metadata_url must be set if SSO is enabled, but not both (string).
• Default value: "".
• Config file format:

  sso_settings:
    metadata: "<md:EntityDescriptor entityID="https://idp.example.org/SAML2"> ... /md:EntityDescriptor>"
  

sso​_settings.metadata​_url

    metadata_url: https://idp.example.org/idp-meta.xml
  

Vulnerability settings

vulnerabilities.databases​_path

Path to a directory on the local filesystem (accessible to the Fleet server) where the various vulnerability databases will be stored.

• Optional setting, must be set to enable vulnerability detection (string).
• Default value: "/tmp/vulndb".
• Config file format:

  vulnerabilities:
    databases_path: "/path/to/dir"
  

Webhook settings

For more information about webhooks and Fleet automations in general, see the Automations documentation.

webhook​_settings.interval

The interval at which to check for webhook conditions. This value currently configures both the host status and failing policies webhooks, but not the recent vulnerabilities webhook. (See the Recent vulnerabilities section for details.)

• Optional setting (time duration as a string)
• Default value: 24h
• Config file format:

  webhook_settings:
    interval: "12h"
  

  

  Note: Fleet's webhook notifications about failing policies default to a 24h time interval based upon the initial start time of the policy. To adjust policy automation intervals, set the interval to a longer period and manually trigger automations using fleetctl. You'll see small differences over time as well based on how long it takes to run, other jobs that are queued up at the same time, etc.

Failing policies webhook

The following options allow the configuration of a webhook that will be triggered if selected policies are not passing for some hosts.

webhook​_settings.failing​_policies​_webhook.destination​_url

The URL to POST to when the condition for the webhook triggers.

• Optional setting, required if webhook is enabled (string).
• Default value: "".
• Config file format:

  webhook_settings:
    failing_policies_webhook:
      destination_url: "https://example.org/webhook_handler"
  

webhook​_settings.failing​_policies​_webhook.enable​_failing​_policies​_webhook

Defines whether to enable the failing policies webhook. Note that currently, if the failing policies webhook and the osquery.enable_async_host_processing options are set, some failing policies webhooks could be missing. Some transitions from succeeding to failing or vice-versa could happen without triggering a webhook request.

• Optional setting (boolean).
• Default value: false.
• Config file format:

  webhook_settings:
    failing_policies_webhook:
      enable_failing_policies_webhook: true
  

webhook​_settings.failing​_policies​_webhook.host​_batch​_size

Maximum number of hosts to batch on POST requests. A value of 0, the default, means no batching. All hosts failing a policy will be sent on one POST request.

• Optional setting (integer).
• Default value: 0.
• Config file format:

  webhook_settings:
    failing_policies_webhook:
