editExamine Osquery results
editOsquery provides relevant, timely data that you can use to better understand and monitor your environment. When you run queries, results are indexed and displayed the Results table, which you can filter, sort, and interact with.
Results table
editThe Results table displays results from single queries and query packs.
Single query results
editResults for single queries appear on the Results tab. When you run a query, the number of agents queried and query status temporarily display in a status bar above the results table. Agent responses can be Successful, Not yet responded (pending), and Failed.
Query pack results
editResults for each query in the pack appear in the Results tab. Click the expand icon (
) at the far right of each query row to display query results. The number of agents that were queried and their responses are shown for each query. Agent responses are color-coded. Green is Successful, Not yet responded (pending) is gray, and Failed is red.
