Unlike [custom variables](https://fleetdm.com/guides/secrets-in-scripts-and-configuration-profiles) (`$FLEET_SECRET_*`), which hold a single value shared across all hosts, a custom host vital can hold a **different value per host**. For example, an "Asset tag" vital can resolve to a different asset tag on every device. Custom host vital values are **not** hidden in the UI or API — don't use them for secrets.
Support for custom host vitals in [Android configuration profiles](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/49421) and [host name templates](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/49489) is coming in Fleet 4.91.

- Custom host vital values are **not** masked in the Fleet UI, API, or script results. Use [custom variables](https://fleetdm.com/guides/secrets-in-scripts-and-configuration-profiles) (`$FLEET_SECRET_*`) for secrets.
- A custom host vital **can't be deleted while it's referenced** by a script or configuration profile. Edit or delete the referencing script/profile first, then delete the vital.
- Referencing a `$FLEET_HOST_VITAL_<id>` that doesn't exist (for example, a typo like `$FLEET_HOST_VITAL_asset_tag`) is rejected when the script or profile is added.
