Osquery now exposes more information during host enrollment than Fleet previously handled.

^ which osquery version introduced this? What is the fleet behavior if I have old osquery versions connecting?

Also, reading the new docs, I think this is the case but want to check my understanding: • if I set

osquery_host_identifier

to

instance

in fleet, even if osquery's flags specify

hostname

as the identifier, fleet will use a unique per-instance tag as the identifier?

if I set osquery_host_identifier to instance in fleet, even if osquery's flags specify hostname as the identifier, fleet will use a unique per-instance tag as the identifier?

yes
