Editing OSQuery (section)

=== Osquery components ===
Osquery has two main components:
* osqueri is an interactive SQL query console. It is a standalone utility that does not need super-user privileges (unless you are querying tables that need that level of access).
* osqueryd is like a monitoring daemon for the host it is installed on. This daemon can schedule queries to execute at regular intervals to gather information from the infrastructure.

You can run the osqueri utility without having the osqueryd daemon running. Another utility, osqueryctl, controls starting, stopping, and checking the status of the daemon.
