[$] System monitoring with osquery
Your operating system generates a lot of run-time data and statistics thatare useful for monitoring system security and performance. How you get thisinformation depends on the operating system you're running. It could be afrom report in a fancy GUI, or obtained via a specialized API, or simply textvalues read from the filesystem in the case of Linux and/proc. However, imagine if you could get this data viaan SQL query, and obtain the output as a database table or JSONobject. This is exactly what osquery letsyou do on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
