  • OSQuery

    SQL powered operating system instrumentation, monitoring, and analytics.

  • There's at least one open data quality issue for `process_open_sockets` on macOS[1]. It's a few years old however and, if you aren't seeing that casting error, you probably aren't hitting it. But that's a good example of the kind of debt that's been built up over time.

    (In terms of general purpose/flexible tooling, I'm not aware of a close replacement for osquery.)

  • Fleet

    Open-source platform for IT, security, and infrastructure teams. (Linux, macOS, Chrome, Windows, cloud, data center) (by fleetdm)

  • linky: https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/fleet-v4.45.1/tools/md... and seems to be mostly MIT Expat <https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/fleet-v4.45.1/LICENSE>

  • InfluxDB

  • steampipe

    Zero-ETL, infinite possibilities. Live query APIs, code & more with SQL. No DB required.

  • be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)

    iasql seems to be AWS only, but good for them for taking this on:

  • system_stats

    A Postgres extension for exposing system metrics such as CPU, memory and disk information

  • system_stat is another one specific to PostgreSQL:

    https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/system_stats

  • steampipe-plugin-aws

    Use SQL to instantly query AWS resources across regions and accounts. Open source CLI. No DB required.

  • be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)

  • iasql

    Cloud Infrastructure as data in PostgreSQL
