Hey peeps - I'm trying to run a "simple" query (

SELECT * FROM system_info

) against a single host via API, but it's timing out (

504 Gateway Time-out

) I can call the same saved query from the fleetdm web ui and it works in a few seconds. This is a fresh fleet install - sound like a familiar problem to anyone?

Using this API? https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/rest-api#run-live-query Perhaps the issue is that it waits 90 seconds before returning results. I wonder if we should try to make it return early if all "expected" hosts have responded.

yes

Probably need to extend the timeout on your load balancer. Or you can use the websockets API, but it's a fair bit more complex. We'll look into making this configurable and/or returning early if all results are back.

is the web ui using websockets?

Yes

ah, hm. Any idea why it'd take long enough to timeout when I run the query via REST? (webui completes in 5 seconds)

Yes, because the "simple" API always waits a fixed amount of time for results before returning, while the websocket API streams results as they come in.

ok, got it thx
