# Configuration files - [Queries](#queries) - [Packs](#packs) - [Labels](#labels) - [Enroll secrets](#enroll-secrets) - [Teams](#teams) - [Organization settings](#organization-settings) Entities in Fleet, such as queries, packs, labels, agent options, and enroll secrets, can be managed with configuration files in YAML syntax. This page contains links to examples that can help you understand the configuration options for your Fleet YAML file(s). Examples in this directory are presented in two forms: - [`single-file-configuration.yml`](./single-file-configuration.yml) presents multiple YAML documents in one file. One file is often easier to manage than several. Group related objects into a single file whenever it makes sense. - The `multi-file-configuration` directory presents multiple YAML documents in separate files. They are in the following structure: ``` ├─ packs ├ └─ osquery-monitoring.yml ├─ agent-options.yml ├─ enroll-secrets.yml ├─ labels.yml ├─ queries.yml ``` ## Using YAML files in Fleet A Fleet configuration is defined using one or more declarative "messages" in YAML syntax. Each message can live in it's own file or multiple in one file, each separated by `---`. Each file/message contains a few required top-level keys: - `apiVersion` - the API version of the file/request - `spec` - the "data" of the request - `kind ` - the type of file/object (i.e.: pack, query, config) The file may optionally also include some `metadata` for more complex data types (i.e.: packs). When you reason about how to manage these config files, consider following the [General Config Tips](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/overview/#general-config-tips) published by the Kubernetes project. Some of the especially relevant tips are included here as well: - When defining configurations, specify the latest stable API version. - Configuration files should be stored in version control before being pushed to the cluster. This allows quick roll-back of a configuration if needed. It also aids with cluster re-creation and restoration if necessary. - Don’t specify default values unnecessarily – simple and minimal configs will reduce errors. ### Queries For especially long or complex queries, you may want to define one query in one file. Continued edits and applications to this file will update the query as long as the `metadata.name` does not change. 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. Make sure the old query name is not defined in any packs before deleting it or an error will occur. ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: query spec: name: docker_processes description: The docker containers processes that are running on a system. query: select * from docker_container_processes; ``` To define multiple queries in a file, concatenate multiple `query` resources together in a single file with `---`. For example, consider a file that you might store at `queries/osquery_monitoring.yml`: ```yaml --- apiVersion: v1 kind: query spec: name: osquery_schedule description: Report performance stats for each file in the query schedule. query: select name, interval, executions, output_size, wall_time, (user_time/executions) as avg_user_time, (system_time/executions) as avg_system_time, average_memory, last_executed from osquery_schedule; --- 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; --- apiVersion: v1 kind: query spec: name: osquery_events description: Report event publisher health and track event counters. query: select name, publisher, type, subscriptions, events, active from osquery_events; ``` ### Packs To define query packs (packs), reference queries defined elsewhere by name. This is why the "name" of a query is so important. You can define many of these packs in many files. ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: pack spec: name: osquery_monitoring disabled: false targets: labels: - All Hosts queries: - query: osquery_version name: osquery_version_differential interval: 7200 - query: osquery_version name: osquery_version_snapshot interval: 7200 snapshot: true - query: osquery_schedule interval: 7200 removed: false - query: osquery_events interval: 86400 removed: false - query: osquery_info interval: 600 removed: false ``` The `targets` field allows you to specify the `labels` field. With the `labels` field, the hosts that become members of the specified labels, upon enrolling to Fleet, will automatically become targets of the given pack. #### Moving queries and packs from one Fleet environment to another When managing multiple Fleet environments, you may want to move queries and/or packs from one "exporter" environment to a another "importer" environment. 1. Navigate to `~/.fleet/config` to find the context names for your "exporter" and "importer" environment. For the purpose of these instructions we will use the context names `exporter` and `importer` respectively. 2. Run the command `fleetctl get queries --yaml --context exporter > queries.yaml && fleetctl apply -f queries.yml --context importer`. This will import all the queries from your exporter Fleet instance into your importer Fleet instance. _Note, this will also write a list of all queries in yaml syntax to a file names `queries.yml`._ 3. Run the command `fleetctl get packs --yaml --context exporter > packs.yaml && fleetctl apply -f packs.yml --context importer`. This will import all the packs from your exporter Fleet instance into your importer Fleet instance. _Note, this will also write a list of all packs in yaml syntax to a file names `packs.yml`._ ### 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: ```yaml 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: ```yaml 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. ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: enroll_secret spec: secrets: - secret: RzTlxPvugG4o4O5IKS/HqEDJUmI1hwBoffff - secret: YBh0n4pvRplKyWiowv9bf3zp6BBOJ13O ``` ### Teams `Applies only to Fleet Premium` The following is an example configuration file for a Team. ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: team spec: team: name: Client Platform Engineerin 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_plugin: tls logger_tls_endpoint: /api/osquery/log logger_tls_period: 10 pack_delimiter: / overrides: {} secrets: - secret: RzTlxPvugG4o4O5IKS/HqEDJUmI1hwBoffff - secret: JZ/C/Z7ucq22dt/zjx2kEuDBN0iLjqfz ``` ### Organization settings The following file describes organization settings applied to the Fleet server. ```yaml 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 distributed_tls_read_endpoint: /api/osquery/distributed/read distributed_tls_write_endpoint: /api/osquery/distributed/write logger_plugin: tls logger_tls_endpoint: /api/osquery/log logger_tls_period: 10 pack_delimiter: / overrides: {} host_expiry_settings: host_expiry_enabled: true host_expiry_window: 10 host_settings: # "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. additional_queries: time: select * from time macs: select mac from interface_details org_info: org_logo_url: "https://example.org/logo.png" org_name: Example Org server_settings: server_url: https://fleet.example.org:8080 smtp_settings: authentication_method: authmethod_plain authentication_type: authtype_username_password domain: example.org enable_smtp: true enable_ssl_tls: true enable_start_tls: true password: supersekretsmtppass port: 587 sender_address: fleet@example.org server: mail.example.org user_name: test_user verify_ssl_certs: true vulnerability_settings": databases_path: "" webhook_settings: host_status_webhook: enable_host_status_webhook: true destination_url: https://server.com host_percentage: 5 days_count: 7 failing_policies_webhook: enable_failing_policies_webhook: true destination_url": https://server.com policy_ids: - 1 - 2 - 3 host_batch_size: 0 interval: 1m0s sso_settings: enable_sso: false entity_id: 1234567890 idp_image_url: https://idp.example.org/logo.png idp_name: IDP Vendor 1 issuer_uri: https://idp.example.org/SAML2/SSO/POST metadata: " ... /md:EntityDescriptor>" metadata_url: https://idp.example.org/idp-meta.xml ``` #### Agent options The `agent_options` key describes options returned to osqueryd when it checks for configuration. See the [osquery documentation](https://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/stable/deployment/configuration/#options) for the available options. Existing options will be over-written by the application of this file. > In Fleet v4.0.0, "osquery options" are renamed to "agent options" and are now configured using the organization settings (config) configuration file. [Check out out the Fleet v3 documentation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/3.13.0/docs/1-Using-Fleet/2-fleetctl-CLI.md#update-osquery-options) if you're using an older version of Fleet. ##### Overrides option The `overrides` key allows you to segment hosts, by their platform, and supply these groups with unique osquery configuration options. When you choose to use the overrides option for a specific platform, all options specified in the default configuration will be ignored for that platform. In the example file below, all Darwin and Ubuntu hosts will only receive the options specified in their respective overrides sections. ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: config spec: agent_options: config: options: distributed_interval: 3 distributed_tls_max_attempts: 3 logger_plugin: tls logger_tls_endpoint: /api/osquery/log logger_tls_period: 10 decorators: load: - "SELECT version FROM osquery_info" - "SELECT uuid AS host_uuid FROM system_info" always: - "SELECT user AS username FROM logged_in_users WHERE user <> '' ORDER BY time LIMIT 1" interval: 3600: "SELECT total_seconds AS uptime FROM uptime" overrides: # Note configs in overrides take precedence over the default config defined # under the config key above. Hosts receive overrides based on the platform # returned by `SELECT platform FROM os_version`. In this example, the base # config would be used for Windows and CentOS hosts, while Mac and Ubuntu # hosts would receive their respective overrides. Note, these overrides are # NOT merged with the top level configuration. platforms: darwin: options: distributed_interval: 10 distributed_tls_max_attempts: 10 logger_plugin: tls logger_tls_endpoint: /api/osquery/log logger_tls_period: 300 disable_tables: chrome_extensions docker_socket: /var/run/docker.sock file_paths: users: - /Users/%/Library/%% - /Users/%/Documents/%% etc: - /etc/%% ubuntu: options: distributed_interval: 10 distributed_tls_max_attempts: 3 logger_plugin: tls logger_tls_endpoint: /api/osquery/log logger_tls_period: 60 schedule_timeout: 60 docker_socket: /etc/run/docker.sock file_paths: homes: - /root/.ssh/%% - /home/%/.ssh/%% etc: - /etc/%% tmp: - /tmp/%% exclude_paths: homes: - /home/not_to_monitor/.ssh/%% tmp: - /tmp/too_many_events/ decorators: load: - "SELECT * FROM cpuid" - "SELECT * FROM docker_info" interval: 3600: "SELECT total_seconds AS uptime FROM uptime" host_expiry_settings: # ... ``` #### Auto table construction You can use Fleet to query local SQLite databases as tables. For more information on creating ATC configuration from a SQLite database, check out the [Automatic Table Construction section](https://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/stable/deployment/configuration/#automatic-table-construction) of the osquery documentation. If you already know what your ATC configuration needs to look like, you can add it to an options config file: ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: config spec: agent_options: config: options: # ... overrides: platforms: darwin: auto_table_construction: tcc_system_entries: query: "select service, client, allowed, prompt_count, last_modified from access" path: "/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db" columns: - "service" - "client" - "allowed" - "prompt_count" - "last_modified" ``` #### YARA configuration You can use Fleet to configure the `yara` and `yara_events` osquery tables. Fore more information on YARA configuration and continuous monitoring using the `yara_events` table, check out the [YARA-based scanning with osquery section](https://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/stable/deployment/yara/) of the osquery documentation. The following is an example Fleet configuration file with YARA configuration. The values are taken from an example config supplied in the above link to the osquery documentation. ```yaml --- apiVersion: v1 kind: config spec: agent_options: config: # ... yara: file_paths: system_binaries: - sig_group_1 tmp: - sig_group_1 - sig_group_2 signatures: sig_group_1: - /Users/wxs/sigs/foo.sig - /Users/wxs/sigs/bar.sig sig_group_2: - /Users/wxs/sigs/baz.sig overrides: {} ``` #### SMTP authentication **Warning:** Be careful not to store your SMTP credentials in source control. It is recommended to set the password through the web UI or `fleetctl` and then remove the line from the checked in version. Fleet will leave the password as-is if the field is missing from the applied configuration. The following options are available when configuring SMTP authentication: - `smtp_settings.authentication_type` - `authtype_none` - use this if your SMTP server is open - `authtype_username_password` - use this if your SMTP server requires authentication with a username and password - `smtp_settings.authentication_method` - required with authentication type `authtype_username_password` - `authmethod_cram_md5` - `authmethod_login` - `authmethod_plain` #### Webhooks - `webhook_settings.interval`: the interval at which to check for webhook conditions. Default: 24h. ##### Host status The following options allow the configuration of a webhook that will be triggered if the specified percentage of hosts are offline for the specified amount of time. - `webhook_settings.host_status_webhook.enable_host_status_webhook`: true or false. Defines whether the check for host status will run or not. - `webhook_settings.host_status_webhook.destination_url`: the URL to POST to when the condition for the webhook triggers. - `webhook_settings.host_status_webhook.host_percentage`: the percentage of hosts that need to be offline - `webhook_settings.host_status_webhook.days_count`: amount of days that hosts need to be offline for to count as part of the percentage. ##### Failing policies 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.enable_failing_policies_webhook`: true or false. 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). - `webhook_settings.failing_policies_webhook.destination_url`: the URL to POST to when the condition for the webhook triggers. - `webhook_settings.failing_policies_webhook.policy_ids`: the IDs of the policies for which the webhook will be enabled. - `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. ##### Recent vulnerabilities The following options allow the configuration of a webhook that will be triggered if recently published vulnerabilities are detected and there are affected hosts. A vulnerability is considered recent if it has been published in the last 2 days (based on the National Vulnerability Database, NVD). - `webhook_settings.vulnerabilities_webhook.enable_vulnerabilities_webhook`: true or false. Defines whether to enable the vulnerabilities webhook. - `webhook_settings.vulnerabilities_webhook.destination_url`: the URL to POST to when the condition for the webhook triggers. - `webhook_settings.vulnerabilities_webhook.host_batch_size`: Maximum number of hosts to batch on POST requests. A value of `0`, the default, means no batching, all hosts affected will be sent on one POST request. Note that the recent vulnerabilities webhook is not checked at `webhook_settings.interval` like other webhooks - it is checked as part of the vulnerability processing and runs at the `vulnerabilities.periodicity` interval specified in the fleet configuration. #### Debug host 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. So 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: ```yaml --- 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: ```yaml --- apiVersion: v1 kind: config spec: server_settings: debug_host_ids: [] ``` WARNING: this will log potentially 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. ### Host settings The `host_settings` section of the configuration YAML allows to define what predefined queries are sent to the hosts and later on processed by Fleet for different functionalities. - `host_settings.enable_host_users`: boolean value that when enabled Fleet will send the query needed to gather user data - `host_settings.enable_software_inventory`: boolean value that when enabled Fleet will send the query needed to gather the list of software installed along with other metadata
