The OSQuery integration collects and decodes the result logs written by osqueryd in the JSON format. To set up osqueryd follow the osquery installation instructions for your operating system and configure the filesystem logging driver (the default). Make sure UTC timestamps are enabled.

Compatibility

The OSQuery integration was tested with logs from osquery version 2.10.2. Since the results are written in the JSON format, it is likely that this module works with any version of osquery.

This module is available on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Logs

OSQuery result

This is the OSQuery result dataset.

An example event for result looks as following:
