YAML files
Use Fleet's best practice GitOps workflow to manage your computers as code.
To learn how to set up a GitOps workflow see the Fleet GitOps repo.
File structure
default.yml- File where you define the queries, policies, controls, and agent options for all hosts. If you're using Fleet Premium, this file updates queries and policies that run on all hosts ("All teams"). Controls and agent options are defined for hosts on "No team."teams/- Folder where you define your teams in Fleet. Theseteams/team-name.ymlfiles define the controls, queries, policies, and agent options for hosts assigned to the specified team. Teams are available in Fleet Premium.lib/- Folder where you define policies, queries, configuration profiles, scripts, and agent options. These files can be referenced in top level keys in thedefault.ymlfile and the files in theteams/folder..github/workflows/workflow.yml- The GitHub workflow file where you can add environment variables.
The following files are responsible for running the GitHub action. Most users don't need to edit these files.
gitops.sh- The bash script that applies the latest configuration to Fleet. This script is used in the GitHub action file..github/gitops-action/action.yml- The GitHub action that runsgitops.sh. This action is used in the GitHub workflow file. It can also be used in other workflows.
Configuration options
The following are the required keys in the default.yml and any teams/team-name.yml files:
name: # Only teams/team-name.yml. To edit a team's name, change `name` but don't change the filename.
policies:
queries:
agent_options:
controls:
software:
org_settings: # Only default.yml
team_settings: # Only teams/team-name.yml
policies
Polcies can be specified inline in your default.yml file or teams/team-name.yml files. They can also be specified in separate files in your lib/ folder.
Options
For possible options, see the parameters for the Add policy API endpoint.
Example
Inline
default.yml or teams/team-name.yml
policies:
- name: macOS - Enable FileVault
