The osquery() driver sends log messages to osquery's syslog table.
The syslog table contains logs forwarded over a named pipe from syslog-ng. When an osquery process that supports the syslog table starts up, it creates (and properly sets permissions for) a named pipe for syslog-ng to write to.
Run osqueryi:
osqueryi --enable_syslog --disable-events=false
To store the database on disk:
osqueryi --enable_syslog --disable-events=false --database_path=/tmp/osquery.db
To set up a custom named pipe:
osqueryi --enable_syslog --disable-events=false --database_path=/tmp/osquery.db --syslog_pipe_path=/tmp/osq.pipe
Example configuration:
@version: 3.12 @include "scl.conf" source s_net { network(port(5514)); }; destination d_osquery { # custom pipe path: #osquery(pipe("/tmp/osq.pipe")); # backup outgoing logs: #osquery(file("/var/log/osquery_inserts.log" template(t_osquery))); # defaults osquery(); }; log { source(s_net); destination(d_osquery); flags(flow-control); };
