Retrieve live query results (SockJS)
You can also retrieve live query results with a SockJS client. The script to handle the request and response messages will look similar to the standard WebSocket API script with slight variations. For example, the constructor used for SockJS is SockJS
while the constructor used for the standard WebSocket API is WebSocket
.
Note that SockJS has been found to be substantially less reliable than the standard WebSockets approach.
/api/v1/fleet/results/
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
token | string | Required. The token used to authenticate with the Fleet API. | |
campaignID | integer | Required. The ID of the live query campaign. |
Example
Example script to handle request and response
const socket = new SockJS(`<your-base-url>/api/v1/fleet/results`, undefined, {});
socket.onopen = () => {
socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'auth', data: { token: <token> } }));
socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'select_campaign', data: { campaign_id: <campaignID> } }));
};
socket.onmessage = ({ data }) => {
console.log(data);
const message = JSON.parse(data);
if (message.type === 'status' && message.data.status === 'finished') {
socket.close();
}
}

Apply policies spec
Creates and/or modifies the policies included in the specs list. To modify an existing policy, the name of the query included in specs
must already be used by an existing policy. If a policy with the specified name doesn't exist in Fleet, a new policy will be created.
NOTE: when updating a policy, team and platform will be ignored.
POST /api/v1/fleet/spec/policies
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
specs | list | body | Required. The list of the policies to be created or modified. |
Example
POST /api/v1/fleet/spec/policies

{
"specs": [
{
"name": "new policy",
"description": "This will be a new policy because a policy with the name 'new policy' doesn't exist in Fleet.",
"query": "SELECT * FROM osquery_info",

Device-authenticated routes
Device-authenticated routes are routes used by the Fleet Desktop application. Unlike most other routes, Fleet user's API token does not authenticate them. They use a device-specific token.
Get device's host
Returns the host information about the device that makes the request.
GET /api/v1/fleet/device/{token}
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
token | string | path | The device's authentication token. |
Example
GET /api/v1/fleet/device/abcdef012456789

Get device's API features
This supports the dynamic discovery of API features supported by the server for device-authenticated routes. This allows supporting different versions of Fleet Desktop and Fleet server instances (older or newer) while supporting the evolution of the API features. With this mechanism, an older Fleet Desktop can ignore features it doesn't know about, and a newer one can avoid requesting features about which the server doesn't know.
GET /api/v1/fleet/device/{token}/api_features
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
token | string | path | The device's authentication token. |
Example
GET /api/v1/fleet/device/abcdef012456789/api_features
Default response
Status: 200
{
"features": {}
