osquery is a framework that offers you the possibility to run queries on your operating system via a shell console, and possibly detect intrusion attempts and other issues. The tool considers the OS to be a high-performance relational database, so you can gather data with the help of SQL queries.
The osquery tools can be deployed via the command line, using the Homebrew package installer, or with the help of pre-built binaries. The next step is to start the osquery in standalone mode via the Terminal and input the queries.
Take into consideration that the osquery software package also deploys the osqueryd monitoring daemon that integrates scheduling capabilities. After the service is correctly configured by the user, it can automatically query the system status and log the results.
osquery provides an SQL interface for exploring your operating system and gathering centralized information about various parameters, going from logged users and password changes to connected USB devices, exceptions to your security settings, and so on.
On top of being able to detect possible security issues such as listening ports that you didn’t know were active, osquery can also help you diagnose and troubleshoot performance issues.
Make sure to check the API table available online that lists all the tables and types that can be used in the osqueryi shell. At the same time, you can consult online resources featuring the SQL syntax.
osquery considers the operating system to be a relational database and provides command line tools for running SQL queries in order to extract information about the state of various parameters.
Osquery comes with a daemon tool that can be configured to automatically run queries and log the results to help you detect security issues or performance problems.
