Make errors

dep: command not found

/bin/bash: dep: command not found
make: *** [.deps] Error 127

If you get the above error, you need to add $GOPATH/bin to your PATH. A quick fix is to run export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH. See the Go language documentation for workspaces and GOPATH for a more indepth documentation.

undefined: Asset

server/fleet/emails.go:90:23: undefined: Asset
make: *** [fleet] Error 2

If you get an undefined: Asset error it is likely because you did not run make generate before make build. See Building Fleet for additional documentation on compiling the fleet binary.

Adding hosts for testing

The osquery directory contains a docker-compose.yml and additional configuration files to start containerized osquery agents.

To start osquery, first retrieve the "Enroll Secret" from Fleet (by clicking the "Add New Host") button in the Fleet dashboard, or with fleetctl get enroll-secret).

cd tools/osquery
ENROLL_SECRET=<copy from fleet> docker-compose up
