Or in a terminal:

• Benchmarks and controls →
• Named queries →

Install Powerpipe (https://powerpipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:

brew install turbot/tap/powerpipe

This mod also requiresSteampipe with theAWS plugin as the data source. Install Steampipe (https://steampipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:

brew install turbot/tap/steampipesteampipe plugin install aws

Steampipe will automatically use your default AWS credentials. Optionally, you cansetup multiple accounts orcustomize AWS credentials.

Finally, install the mod:

mkdir dashboardscd dashboardspowerpipe mod initpowerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-compliance

Start Steampipe as the data source:

steampipe service start

Start the dashboard server:

powerpipe server

Browse and view your dashboards athttp://localhost:9033.

Instead of running benchmarks in a dashboard, you can also run them within yourterminal with thepowerpipe benchmark command:

List available benchmarks:

powerpipe benchmark list

Run a benchmark:

powerpipe benchmark run aws_compliance.benchmark.cis_v400

Different output formats are also available, for more information please seeOutput Formats.

The benchmark queries use common properties (likeaccount_id,connection_name andregion) and tags that are defined in the form of a default list of strings in thevariables.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.ppvarsvi powerpipe.ppvars

Alternatively you can pass variables on the command line:

powerpipe benchmark run aws_compliance.benchmark.cis_v400 --var'tag_dimensions=["Environment", "Owner"]'

Or through environment variables:

export PP_VAR_common_dimensions='["account_id", "connection_name", "region"]'export PP_VAR_tag_dimensions='["Environment", "Owner"]'powerpipe benchmark run aws_compliance.benchmark.cis_v400
