Fleet is powered by the open source osquery tool. To add a host to Fleet, you must install osquery on this host.

The recommended way to install osquery and add your host to Fleet is with an osquery installer. Fleet provides the tools to generate an osquery installer with the `fleetctl package` command.

These plugins are very customizable and thus have a large configuration surface. Configuring osqueryd to communicate with Fleet is documented below in the "Native Osquery TLS Plugins" section.
