<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or remove if NA --> **Related issue:** For #44077 # Details This PR implements enforcement of the "disable dataset" feature. When a dataset is disabled globally, we: * Stop collecting all data for that dataset (the `Collect` method for that dataset is not called in the cron job) * Remove all previously-collected data for the dataset via an asynchronous job When a dataset is disabled for one or more fleets, we: * Provide the list of disabled fleets as an argument to each dataset's `Collect` method. Each dataset is responsible for filtering out hosts in the most efficient way possible * Scrub the data for the relevant datasets using a bitmask, so that all hosts from the disabled fleets are removed from the data. This is done via an asynchronous job. # Checklist for submitter If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line. - [ ] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`, `orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`. See [Changes files](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/guides/committing-changes.md#changes-files) for more information. n/a, unreleased - [X] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell metacharacters. - [X] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite loops ## Testing - [X] Added/updated automated tests - [X] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and test for host isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing) (updates to one hosts's records do not affect another) - [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually ### Prerequisites / Test Setup - [ ] Fleet running with at least 3 teams (call them T1, T2, T3) and ≥3 hosts in each, plus ≥2 hosts with no team - [ ] At least one host on each team has reported recent uptime (within the bucket window) - [ ] At least one host in each team is affected by a tracked CVE (so `host_scd_data` for `dataset='cve'` will have non-empty bitmaps) - [ ] AppConfig: both `features.historical_data.uptime` and `features.historical_data.vulnerabilities` start as `true`; same for every team - [ ] Let the collection cron run at least one full tick to populate baseline rows in `host_scd_data` for both `uptime` and `cve` - [ ] Note the current row count per dataset: `SELECT dataset, COUNT(*) FROM host_scd_data GROUP BY dataset;` --- ### 1. Cron Skips Globally-Disabled Datasets #### 1.1 Global disable of `uptime` - [x] Disable globally: `PATCH /api/v1/fleet/config` with `features.historical_data.uptime = false` - [x] Verify activity feed shows `disabled_historical_dataset` for `uptime` (existing behavior) - [x] Wait for next collection tick (or trigger it via fleetctl debug if available) - [x] Confirm **no new rows** appear for `dataset='uptime'`: `SELECT MAX(valid_from) FROM host_scd_data WHERE dataset='uptime';` should not advance after the disable - [x] Confirm cron still writes `cve` rows on the same tick (per-dataset isolation) - [x] Re-enable: PATCH `historical_data.uptime = true` - [x] Verify next tick resumes writing `uptime` rows #### 1.2 Global disable of `vulnerabilities` - [x] Repeat 1.1 with `features.historical_data.vulnerabilities` - [x] Confirm `cve` writes stop, `uptime` continues #### 1.3 Both disabled globally - [x] Disable both globally - [x] Confirm cron tick produces zero new rows for either dataset - [x] Confirm cron does not error or get stuck - [x] Re-enable both --- ### 2. Per-Fleet Disable — Cron Filters at SQL #### 2.1 Single team disabled for one dataset - [x] Disable uptime for T1 only: PATCH team T1 with `features.historical_data.uptime = false` - [x] Verify scoped `disabled_historical_dataset` activity emitted for T1 - [x] Wait for next cron tick / trigger cron - [x] Pick a host known to be in T1 (call it `H_T1`); confirm its bit is NOT set in any `uptime` row written *after* the disable by filtering the chart to that host - [x] Pick a host in T2 (`H_T2`); confirm its bit IS still set in the same rows (T2 is not disabled) - [x] Pick a no-team host (`H_none`); confirm its bit IS still set (no-team hosts follow the global value) #### 2.2 Same fleet, different dataset - [x] With T1's uptime disabled, confirm T1's hosts ARE still written into `cve` rows on subsequent ticks (per-dataset isolation) #### 2.3 All teams disabled, global on, no-team hosts - [x] Disable uptime on every team (T1, T2, T3) - [x] Confirm next tick still writes a row containing only no-team hosts' bits (global is on, no-team hosts always count) - [x] Re-enable uptime on all teams --- ### 3. Global Scrub — DELETE #### 3.1 Successful global scrub - [x] Note baseline: `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM host_scd_data WHERE dataset='uptime';` (should be > 5000 to exercise the loop; if not, manually insert filler rows or run multiple cron ticks) - [x] Disable uptime globally via the API - [x] Wait for the worker to pick up the scrub / trigger the job - [x] Confirm the count drops to 0: `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM host_scd_data WHERE dataset='uptime';` - [x] Confirm rows for **other datasets** are untouched - [ ] Test again but disable via GitOps --- ### 4. Per-Fleet Scrub — ANDNOT #### 4.1 Single-fleet scrub clears bits - [x] Identify hosts in T1 and record their IDs (call this set `S`) - [x] Pre-disable, confirm at least one `host_scd_data` row for `dataset='uptime'` has bits set at positions in `S` by filtering the chart to those hosts - [x] Disable uptime on T1 only, via the API - [x] Wait for the scrub to run / trigger it - [x] Confirm: every existing row for `dataset='uptime'` now has NO bits set at any position in `S`. Spot-check by filtering the chart to those hosts - [x] Confirm rows for `dataset='cve'` (different dataset) are untouched - [x] Confirm bits for hosts in T2/T3 (not disabled) are still set - [x] Run test again but disable via GitOps #### 4.2 Multi-fleet scrub via GitOps batch - [x] Apply a GitOps spec that flips cve to false on T1 and T3 in a single apply - [x] Wait for scrub(s) to complete - [x] Confirm bits for the union of T1∪T2 hosts are cleared from every row of `dataset='cve'` - [x] Confirm T2 hosts' bits remain set --- ### 5. Activity Feed Cross-Check - [x] Each global flip emits exactly one `disabled_historical_dataset` activity (existing behavior, unchanged) - [x] Each per-team flip emits one scoped activity with the team's ID and name - [x] PATCH submitting unchanged values emits **no** activity and causes **no** scrub (no `host_scd_data` data change observed after the cron tick) - [x] No new "scrub completed" or "scrub started" activity is emitted (out of scope for v1) - [x] Re-enable flips emit `enabled_historical_dataset` activities and do NOT emit any scrub-related activity --- ### 6. Regression Spot Checks - [x] With everything enabled (default), the chart UI renders the same data as before this change (no behavior change in the "all on" case) - [x] AppConfig YAML round-trip (`fleetctl apply`) is benign: applying the unchanged config produces no scrub jobs and no activities - [x] GitOps apply with `historical_data` omitted from team specs defaults to `true` (per the gitops-api change) and does not trigger spurious scrubs - [x] After a full disable+scrub of cve, the `host_scd_data` table has no `dataset='cve'` rows; the chart UI for "vulnerable hosts over time" shows an empty/zero state without errors --- <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Chart collection now supports per-dataset scoping and honors team-level disables; new scrub jobs are registered and worker handlers added. * New dataset scrub operations: global and fleet-scoped scrubs; scrubs can be enqueued and are deduplicated to avoid duplicate pending jobs. Historical-data changes enqueue scrubs after save (errors logged, non-blocking). * **Tests** * Added unit tests for scope resolution, scrub enqueue/dedup behavior, scrub workers, scrub application, and low-level blob scrub logic. * **Documentation** * Added OpenSpec metadata for the chart scrub change. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Lighter than air
Fleet is lightweight and modular. You can use it for security without using it for MDM, and vice versa. You can turn off features you are not using.
Openness
Fleet is dedicated to flexibility, accessibility, and clarity. We think everyone can contribute and that tools should be as easy as possible for everyone to understand.
Good neighbors
Fleet has no ambition to replace all of your other tools. (Though it might replace some, if you want it to.) Ready-to-use, enterprise-friendly integrations exist for Snowflake, Splunk, GitHub Actions, Vanta, Elastic Jira, Zendesk, and more.
Fleet plays well with Munki, Chef, Puppet, and Ansible, as well as with security tools like Crowdstrike and SentinelOne. For example, you can use the free version of Fleet to quickly report on what hosts are actually running your EDR agent.
Free as in free
The free version of Fleet will always be free. Fleet is independently backed and actively maintained with the help of many amazing contributors.
Longevity
The company behind Fleet is founded (and majority-owned) by true believers in open source. The company's business model is influenced by GitLab (NYSE: GTLB), with great investors, happy customers, and the capacity to become profitable at any time.
In keeping with Fleet's value of openness, Fleet Device Management's company handbook is public and open source. You can read about the history of Fleet and osquery and our commitment to improving the product.
Is it any good?
Fleet is used in production by IT and security teams with thousands of laptops and servers. Many deployments support tens of thousands of hosts, and a few large organizations manage deployments as large as 400,000+ hosts.
