Osquery

SQL-Based - Maps operating system telemetry and kernel data into virtual relational tables for querying via standard SQL.

System State Querying - Exposes OS internals as relational tables for diagnosing system behavior via SQL inspection.

SQLite Integration - Integrates an embedded SQLite engine to parse SQL queries and manage system data retrieval.

Virtual Tables - Implements virtual tables that translate SQL row requests into specific operating system telemetry fetches.

Extension APIs - Provides an extension API that allows developers to implement new SQL tables for custom telemetry.

System Instrumentation Frameworks - Instruments the operating system by treating its state as a relational database queried with SQL.

Telemetry Table Plugins - Implements a plugin system for adding custom telemetry tables to the relational system state model.

Endpoint Monitoring Agents - Acts as a unified agent for tracking hardware, network, and process activity across enterprise endpoints.

Distributed Query Schedulers - Executes SQL queries on a fixed timetable across multiple hosts to track OS state over time.

Scheduled State Polling - Provides the ability to execute scheduled queries on a fixed timetable to track system state changes.

System Telemetry Collectors - Gathers performance metrics and system information from distant hosts for external monitoring.

Custom Telemetry Extensions - Enables the development of custom telemetry tables via plugins to monitor specific system concepts.

Forensic Analysis Tools - Cross-platform system data collection and forensic analysis.

System Instrumentation and Monitoring - Exposes operating system state as a queryable relational database.
