Labels

In Fleet, you can use labels to scope software, policies, queries, and configuration profiles for specific hosts, and filter the hosts view.

Labels can be one of the following types:

  • Dynamic: A query-based label applied to any host that returns a result for the label’s query.
    An icon indicating that this section has important information

    If you want to change the query or platform on a dynamic label, you must delete the existing label and create a new one.

  • Manual: A manually assigned label used to filter selected hosts.
  • Host vitals: A Fleet-generated label applied to hosts that match a specific host vital (currently IdP group and department on macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android).

    If you want to change the target of a host vitals label, you must delete the existing label and create a new one.

To add or edit a label in Fleet, select the avatar on the right side of the top navigation and select Labels.

You can also manage labels via Fleet's API or best practice GitOps.
