Fleets

Fleets are available in Fleet Premium.

In Fleet, you can organize hosts into fleets to apply queries, policies, scripts, and other configurations tailored to their specific risk and compliance requirements.

A host can only belong to one fleet. You can give users access to mutiple fleet.

To manage fleets:

  1. Select your avatar in the top navigation.
  2. Choose Settings > Fleets.

Best practice

Fleet's best practice fleets:

  • 💻 Workstations: End users' production work computers (macOS, Windows, and Linux)
  • ☁️ IT servers: Production servers used to host internal tools like certificate authorities (CAs).
  • 📱🔐 Personal mobile devices: iPhones, iPads, and Android devices owned by employees that can access company data.
  • 📱🏢 Employee-issued mobile devices: iPhones, iPads, and Android devices issued to employees that can access company data.
  • 🖥️ Dedicated devices: iPads or iPhones for dedicated or shared use. If some of your devices have different use cases, break this fleet into separate fleets (ex. 🖥️ Kiosk devices and 🎥 Zoom room devices).

Add hosts to a fleet

You can add hosts to a fleet in Fleet by either enrolling the host with a fleet's enroll secret or by transferring the host via Fleet UI after the host has been enrolled to Fleet.

Transfer a host

  1. In Fleet UI, navigate to the Hosts page and select the host you wish to transfer.
  2. From the host details page, press Actions > Transfer and follow the on-screen instructions.

Quick tip: You can hit the checkbox next to the host you wish to transfer to access its quick menu. From there, select Transfer and follow the on-screen instructions.

Advanced

You can automatically enroll hosts to a specific fleet in Fleet by installing a fleetd agent with a fleet enroll secret.

Changing the host's enroll secret after enrollment will not cause the host to be transferred to a different fleet.
