Getting Started
Installation
Install Powerpipe (https://powerpipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:
brew install turbot/tap/powerpipe
This mod also requires Steampipe with the GCP plugin as the data source. Install Steampipe (https://steampipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:
brew install turbot/tap/steampipe
steampipe plugin install gcp
Steampipe will automatically use your default GCP credentials. Optionally, you can setup multiple projects.
Finally, install the mod:
mkdir dashboards
cd dashboards
powerpipe mod init
powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-gcp-compliance
Browsing Dashboards
Start Steampipe as the data source:
steampipe service start
Start the dashboard server:
powerpipe server
Browse and view your dashboards at http://localhost:9033.
Running Checks in Your Terminal
Instead of running benchmarks in a dashboard, you can also run them within your
terminal with the powerpipe benchmark
command:
List available benchmarks:
powerpipe benchmark list
Run a benchmark:
powerpipe benchmark run gcp_compliance.benchmark.cis_v200
Different output formats are also available, for more information please see Output Formats.
Common and Tag Dimensions
The benchmark queries use common properties (like connection_name
, location
and project
) and tags that are defined in the form of a default list of strings in the variables.sp
file. These properties can be overwritten in several ways:
It's easiest to setup your vars file, starting with the sample:
cp powerpipe.ppvars.example powerpipe.ppvars
vi powerpipe.ppvars
Alternatively you can pass variables on the command line:
powerpipe benchmark run gcp_compliance.benchmark.cis_v200 --var 'tag_dimensions=["environment", "owner"]'
Or through environment variables:
export PP_VAR_common_dimensions='["connection_name", "location", "project"]'
export PP_VAR_tag_dimensions='["environment", "owner"]'
powerpipe benchmark run gcp_compliance.benchmark.cis_v200
