  • Fixed a bug in which uninstalled software (DEB packages) appeared in Fleet.

  • Fixed a bug in which a team that didn't have config.features settings was edited via the UI, then both features.enable_host_users and features.enable_software_inventory would be false instead of the global default.

  • Fixed a bug that resulted in false negatives for vulnerable versions of Zoom, Google Chrome, Adobe Photoshop, Node.js, Visual Studio Code, Adobe Media Encoder, VirtualBox, Adobe Premiere Pro, Pip, and Firefox software.

  • Added validation to the config and teams configuration files. Fleet can be managed with configuration files (YAML syntax) and the fleetctl command line tool.

  • Added the ability to manage osquery flags remotely. This requires Orbit, Fleet's agent manager. If at some point you revoked an old enroll secret, this feature won't work for hosts that were added to Fleet using this old enroll secret. To manage osquery flags on these hosts, we recommend deploying a new package. Check out the instructions here on GitHub.

  • Added a /api/v1/fleet/device/{token}/desktop API route that returns only the number of failing policies for a specific host.

  • Added support for kubequery.

Upgrade plan

Fleet 4.0.0 is a major release and introduces several breaking changes and database migrations. The following sections call out changes to consider when upgrading to Fleet 4.0.0:

  • The structure of Fleet's .tar.gz and .zip release archives have changed slightly. Deployments that use the binary artifacts may need to update scripts or tooling. The fleetdm/fleet Docker container maintains the same API.

  • Use strictly fleet in Fleet's configuration, API routes, and environment variables. Users must update all usage of kolide in these items (deprecated since Fleet 3.8.0).

  • Changeed your SAML SSO URI to use fleet instead of kolide . This is due to the changes to Fleet's API routes outlined in the section above.

  • Changeed configuration option server_tlsprofile to server_tls_compatibility. This options previously had an inconsistent key name.

  • Replaced the use of the api/v1/fleet/spec/osquery/options with api/v1/fleet/config. In Fleet 4.0.0, "osquery options" are now called "agent options." The new agent options are moved to the Fleet application config spec file and the api/v1/fleet/config API endpoint.

  • Enrolled secrets no longer have "names" and are now either global or for a specific team. Hosts no longer store the “name” of the enroll secret that was used. Users that want to be able to segment hosts (for configuration, queries, etc.) based on the enrollment secret should use the Teams feature in Fleet Basic.

  • JWT encoding is no longer used for session keys. Sessions now default to expiring in 4 hours of inactivity. auth_jwt_key and auth_jwt_key_file are no longer accepted as configuration.

  • The username artifact has been removed in favor of the more recognizable name (Full name). As a result the email artifact is now used for uniqueness in Fleet. Upon upgrading to Fleet 4.0.0, existing users will have the name field populated with username. SAML users may need to update their username mapping to match user emails.

  • As of Fleet 4.0.0, Fleet Device Management Inc. periodically collects anonymous information about your instance. Sending usage statistics is turned off by default for users upgrading from a previous version of Fleet. Read more about the exact information collected here.

Fleet 3.9.0 (Mar 9, 2021)

  • Added configurable host identifier to help with duplicate host enrollment scenarios. By default, Fleet's behavior does not change (it uses the identifier configured in osquery's --host_identifier flag), but for users with overlapping host UUIDs changing --osquery_host_identifier to instance may be helpful.

  • Made cool-down period for host enrollment configurable to control load on the database in scenarios in which hosts are using the same identifier. By default, the cooldown is off, reverting to the behavior of Fleet <=3.4.0. The cooldown can be enabled with --osquery_enroll_cooldown.

Kolide Fleet 2.0.0 (currently preparing for release)

The primary new addition in Fleet 2 is the new fleetctl CLI and file-format, which dramatically increases the flexibility and control that administrators have over their osquery deployment. The CLI and the file format are documented in the Fleet documentation.

New Features

  • New fleetctl CLI for managing your entire osquery workflow via CLI, API, and source controlled files!

    • You can use fleetctl to manage osquery packs, queries, labels, and configuration.
  • In addition to the CLI, Fleet 2.0.0 introduces a new file format for articulating labels, queries, packs, options, etc. This format is designed for composability, enabling more effective sharing and re-use of intelligence.

apiVersion: v1
kind: query
spec:
  name: pending_updates
  query: >
    select value
    from plist
    where
      path = "/Library/Preferences/ManagedInstalls.plist" and
      key = "PendingUpdateCount" and
      value > "0";
  • Run live osquery queries against arbitrary subsets of your infrastructure via the fleetctl query command.

  • Use fleetctl setup, fleetctl login, and fleetctl logout to manage the authentication life-cycle via the CLI.

  • Use fleetctl get, fleetctl apply, and fleetctl delete to manage the state of your Fleet data.

  • Manage any osquery option you want and set platform-specific overrides with the fleetctl CLI and file format.

Upgrade Plan

  • Managing osquery options via the UI has been removed in favor of the more flexible solution provided by the CLI. If you have customized your osquery options with Fleet, there is a database migration which will port your existing data into the new format when you run fleet prepare db. To download your osquery options after migrating your database, run fleetctl get options > options.yaml. Further modifications to your options should occur in this file and it should be applied with fleetctl apply -f ./options.yaml.

Kolide Fleet 1.0.8 (May 3, 2018)

  • Osquery 3.0+ compatibility!

  • Included RFC822 From header in emails (for email authentication)

Kolide Fleet 1.0.7 (Mar 30, 2018)

Kolide 1.0.4 (Jun 1, 2017)

  • Added feature that allows users to import existing Osquery configuration files using the configimporter utility.

  • Added support for Osquery decorators.

  • Added SAML single sign on support.

  • Improved online status detection.

    The Kolide server now tracks the distributed_interval and config_tls_refresh values for each individual host (these can be different if they are set via flagfile and not through Kolide), to ensure that online status is represented as accurately as possible.

  • Kolide server now requires --auth_jwt_key to be specified at startup.

    If no JWT key is provided by the user, the server will print a new suggested random JWT key for use.

  • Fixed bug in which deleted packs were still displayed on the query sidebar.

  • Fixed rounding error when showing % of online hosts.

  • Removed --app_token_key flag.

  • Fixed issue where heavily loaded database caused host authentication failures.

  • Fixed issue where osquery sends empty strings for integer values in log results.

Kolide 1.0.3 (April 3, 2017)

  • Log rotation is no longer the default setting for Osquery status and results logs. To enable log rotation use the --osquery_enable_log_rotation flag.

  • Added a debug endpoint for collecting performance statistics and profiles.

    When kolide serve --debug is used, additional handlers will be started to provide access to profiling tools. These endpoints are authenticated with a randomly generated token that is printed to the Kolide logs at startup. These profiling tools are not intended for general use, but they may be useful when providing performance-related bug reports to the Kolide developers.

  • Added a workaround for CentOS6 detection.

    Osquery 2.3.2 incorrectly reports an empty value for platform on CentOS6 hosts. We added a workaround to properly detect platform in Kolide, and also submitted a fix to upstream osquery.

  • Ensured hosts enroll in labels immediately even when distributed_interval is set to a long interval.

--server_tls_compatibility=modern

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS for more information on the different profile options.

  • The Options Configuration item in the sidebar is now only available to admin users.

    Previously this item was visible to non-admin users and if selected, a blank options page would be displayed since server side authorization constraints prevent regular users from viewing or changing options.

  • Improved validation for the Kolide server URL supplied in setup and configuration.

  • Fixed an issue importing osquery configurations with numeric values represented as strings in JSON.

Kolide 1.0.2 (March 14, 2017)

  • Fixed an issue adding additional targets when querying a host

  • Shows loading spinner while newly added Host Details are saved

  • Shows a generic computer icon when when referring to hosts with an unknown platform instead of the text "All"

  • Kolide will now warn on startup if there are database migrations not yet completed.

  • Kolide will prompt for confirmation before running database migrations.

    To disable this, use kolide prepare db --no-prompt.

  • Kolide now supports emoji, so you can 🔥 to your heart's content.

  • When setting the platform for a scheduled query, selecting "All" now clears individually selected platforms.

  • Updated Host details cards UI

  • Lowered HTTP timeout settings.

    In an effort to provide a more resilient web server, timeouts are more strictly enforced by the Kolide HTTP server (regardless of whether or not you're using the built-in TLS termination).

  • Hardened TLS server settings.

    For customers using Kolide's built-in TLS server (if the server.tls configuration is true), the server was hardened to only accept modern cipher suites as recommended by Mozilla.

  • Improve the mechanism used to calculate whether or not hosts are online.

    Previously, hosts were categorized as "online" if they had been seen within the past 30 minutes. To make the "online" status more representative of reality, hosts are marked "online" if the Kolide server has heard from them within two times the lowest polling interval as described by the Kolide-managed osquery configuration. For example, if you've configured osqueryd to check-in with Kolide every 10 seconds, only hosts that Kolide has heard from within the last 20 seconds will be marked "online".

  • Updated Host details cards UI

  • Added support for rotating the osquery status and result log files by sending a SIGHUP signal to the kolide process.

  • Fixed Distributed Query compatibility with load balancers and Safari.

    Customers running Kolide behind a web balancer lacking support for websockets were unable to use the distributed query feature. Also, in certain circumstances, Safari users with a self-signed cert for Kolide would receive an error. This release add a fallback mechanism from websockets using SockJS for improved compatibility.

  • Fixed issue with Distributed Query Pack results full screen feature that broke the browser scrolling abilities.

  • Fixed bug in which host counts in the sidebar did not match up with displayed hosts.

Kolide 1.0.1 (February 27, 2017)

  • Fixed an issue that prevented users from replacing deleted labels with a new label of the same name.

  • Improved the reliability of IP and MAC address data in the host cards and table.

  • Added full screen support for distributed query results.

  • Enabled users to double click on queries and packs in a table to see their details.

  • Reprompted for a password when a user attempts to change their email address.

  • Automatically decorates the status and result logs with the host's UUID and hostname.

  • Fixed an issue where Kolide users on Safari were unable to delete queries or packs.

  • Improved platform detection accuracy.

    Previously Kolide was determining platform based on the OS of the system osquery was built on instead of the OS it was running on. Please note: Offline hosts may continue to report an erroneous platform until they check-in with Kolide.

  • Fixed bugs where query links in the pack sidebar pointed to the wrong queries.

  • Improved MySQL compatibility with stricter configurations.

  • Allows users to edit the name and description of host labels.

  • Added basic table autocompletion when typing in the query composer.

  • Now support MySQL client certificate authentication. More details can be found in the Configuring the Fleet binary docs.

  • Improved security for user-initiated email address changes.

    This improvement ensures that only users who own an email address and are logged in as the user who initiated the change can confirm the new email.

    Previously it was possible for Administrators to also confirm these changes by clicking the confirmation link.

  • Fixed an issue where the setup form rejects passwords with certain characters.

    This change resolves an issue where certain special characters like "." where rejected by the client-side JS that controls the setup form.

  • Now automatically logs in the user once initial setup is completed.
