Description

I'm hoping to create a custom "event" table (i.e. using https://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/stable/development/pubsub-framework rather than a traditional, on-demand generated table).

It seems like osquery-go might only support the on-demand generate table style though?

Entirely possible that this just isn't something you can do with a plugin, I couldn't find many details on the Thrift API to confirm this 🙂

Research direction

Start by reviewing the osquery pubsub framework documentation and the Thrift API details referenced in the issue, then inspect osquery-go's plugin support for event tables. Done would mean establishing whether event-table creation is supported through the plugin API and, if not, defining the missing integration scope.
