You can read more about `kube-bench` configuration in our [documentation](docs/README.md#configuration-and-variables).
## Troubleshooting
Running `kube-bench` with the `-v 3 --logtostderr` parameters will generate debug logs that can be very helpful for debugging problems.
If you are using one of the example `job*.yaml` files, you will need to edit the `command` field, for example `["kube-bench", "-v", "3", "--logtostderr"]`. Once the job has run, the logs can be retrieved using `kubectl logs` on the job's pod.
## Test config YAML representation
The tests (or "controls") are represented as YAML documents (installed by default into `./cfg`). There are different versions of these test YAML files reflecting different versions of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. You will find more information about the test file YAML definitions in our [documentation](docs/README.md).
