For the following quick win:

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Clarified query interval guidance to explain when hosts report new results.
    • Updated the no-results message to indicate hosts begin reporting after being online for the estimated checkback time.
  • Style

    • Reordered the “Save as new” action to appear after the “Save” button.

The Interval help text and "Collecting results..." empty state both
implied Fleet actively polls hosts on a schedule. In reality, a host
only reports in after it's been online for the selected interval
(driven by osquery's own uptime), so the old copy set the wrong
expectation for why results take a while to show up.

Walkthrough

Updated query interval help text and the collecting-results notice. The text now explains that hosts report new results after they remain online for the configured duration. Moved the “Save as new” button after the “Save” button.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8ffdf

The updated report-interval guidance correctly focuses on host uptime, but it remains misleading when an interval of 0 disables scheduled execution, which could confuse query configuration. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up copy fix.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle interval 0 consistently in both modals.

The new help text claims that hosts report results, but interval 0 disables scheduled execution. Render disabled-state copy when the interval is 0.

Thanks for calling this out! A "0" frequency looks alright as is:

Also, this made me realize we want to move the "Save" button the left button b/c it has the most visual weight:
