users introduction

The "osquery" project represents a suite of tools and utilities. The specific tools that are currently publicly available are osqueryi, the interactive query console, and osqueryd, the distributed host monitoring daemon.

For detailed documentation on how to use osqueryi, please read the using osqueryi documentation.

For detailed documentation on how to use osqueryd, please read the using osqueryd documentation.

If you're more interested in extending osquery, you're better off starting with the Developer's Guide, which can be accessed via the wiki sidebar. Specifically, a good place to start is the building the code guide.

If you're interested in using osquery APIs, check out the public API documentation.
