Feedback from prospect-redwine was that this page required more depth on policies. We have documentation around policies, this PR is to add linking and to glue the topics together. --------- Co-authored-by: Noah Talerman <noahtal@umich.edu> Co-authored-by: Noah Talerman <47070608+noahtalerman@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: JD <spokanemac@users.noreply.github.com>

# Anatomy
|
||
This page details the core concepts you need to know to use Fleet.
|
||
|
||
## Fleet UI
|
||
Fleet UI is the GUI (graphical user interface) used to control Fleet. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleet-ui).
|
||
|
||
## Fleetctl
|
||
Fleetctl (pronouced “fleet control”) is a CLI (command line interface) tool for managing Fleet from the command line. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleetctl-cli).
|
||
|
||
## Fleetd
|
||
Fleetd is a bundle of agents provided by Fleet to gather information about your devices. Fleetd includes [osquery](https://www.osquery.io/), [Orbit](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/orbit/README.md), Fleet Desktop, and the [Fleetd Chrome extension](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/ee/fleetd-chrome/README.md).
|
||
|
||
## Osquery
|
||
Osquery is an open-source tool for gathering information about the state of any device that the osquery agent has been installed on. [Learn more](https://www.osquery.io/).
|
||
|
||
## Orbit
|
||
Orbit is an osquery version and configuration manager, built by Fleet.
|
||
|
||
## Fleet Desktop
|
||
Fleet Desktop is a menu bar icon that gives end users visibility into the security and status of their machine. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleet-desktop).
|
||
|
||
## Fleetd Chrome extension
|
||
The Fleetd Chrome extension enrolls ChromeOS devices in Fleet. [Docs](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/ee/fleetd-chrome/README.md).
|
||
|
||
## Host
|
||
A host is a computer, server, or other endpoint. Fleet gathers information from Fleet's agent (fleetd) installed on each of your hosts. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/adding-hosts).
|
||
|
||
## Team
|
||
A team is a group of hosts. Use teams to segment your hosts into groups that reflect your organization's IT and security policies. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/teams).
|
||
|
||
## Query
|
||
A query in Fleet refers to an osquery query. Osquery uses basic SQL commands to request data from hosts. Use queries to manage, monitor, and identify threats on your devices. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleet-ui).
|
||
|
||
## Policy
|
||
A policy is a specific “yes” or “no” query. Use policies to manage security compliance in your
|
||
organization. Learn more [here](https://fleetdm.com/securing/what-are-fleet-policies).
|
||
|
||
## Host vitals
|
||
Host vitals are the hard-coded queries Fleet uses to populate device details.
|
||
|
||
## Software library
|
||
An inventory of each host’s installed software, including information about detected vulnerabilities (CVEs).
