Automatically re-collect vitals after policy automation runs

[sean-m-benson]

• @noahtalerman: User requested this because after a policy automation remediates a failing policy, they want Fleet to reflect the updated policy state immediately without waiting for the next scheduled check-in.

  • @noahtalerman: In the interim they use a workaround by sending a POST request to /api/latest/fleet/device/${DEVICE_TOKEN}/refetch, but this only works on devices running Fleet Desktop where a device token is available.
  • @noahtalerman: Eventually Fleet could support automatic or configurable re-fetching of vitals after running policy automations—either globally, per-policy, or by default—to ensure the UI reflects real-time compliance.

Hey team, I am sorry for the back and forth—I missed an important piece of context in the original ticket

However, this will not be reported to Fleet until the next time the agent checks into the dashboard.

As a result, you can remove our tag
