# Anatomy

This page details the core concepts you need to know to use Fleet.

## Fleet UI

Fleet UI is the GUI (graphical user interface) used to control Fleet. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleet-ui).

## Fleetctl

Fleetctl (pronouced “fleet control”) is a CLI (command line interface) tool for managing Fleet from the command line. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleetctl-cli).

## Fleetd

Fleetd is a bundle of agents provided by Fleet to gather information about your devices. Fleetd includes [osquery](https://www.osquery.io/), Orbit, and Fleet Desktop. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleetd).

## Osquery
Osquery is an open-source tool for gathering information about the state of any device that the osquery agent has been installed on. [Learn more](https://www.osquery.io/).

## Orbit
Orbit is an osquery version and configuration manager, built by Fleet. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/orbit).

## Fleet Desktop
Fleet Desktop is a menu bar icon that gives end users visibility into the security and status of their machine. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleet-desktop). 

## Host
A host is a computer, server, or other endpoint. Fleet gathers information from an osquery agent installed on each of your hosts. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/adding-hosts).

## Team
A team is a group of hosts. Use teams to segment your hosts into groups that reflect your organization's IT and security policies. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/teams).

## Query
A query in Fleet refers to an osquery query. Osquery uses basic SQL commands to request data from hosts. Use queries to manage, monitor, and identify threats on your devices. [Docs](https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleet-ui).

## Policy
A policy is a specific “yes” or “no” query. Use policies to manage security compliance in your organization.

## Host vitals
Host vitals are the hard-coded queries Fleet uses to populate device details.

## Software library 
An inventory of each host’s installed software, including information about detected vulnerabilities (CVEs).
