### Examples
|
|
|
|
#### Report kube-bench findings to AWS Security Hub
|
|
|
|
You can configure kube-bench with the `--asff` option to send findings to AWS Security Hub for any benchmark tests that fail or that generate a warning. See [this page](asff.md) for more information on how to enable the kube-bench integration with AWS Security Hub.
|
|
|
|
#### Specifying the benchmark or Kubernetes version
|
|
|
|
`kube-bench` uses the Kubernetes API, or access to the `kubectl` or `kubelet` executables to try to determine the Kubernetes version, and hence which benchmark to run. If you wish to override this, or if none of these methods are available, you can specify either the Kubernetes version or CIS Benchmark as a command line parameter.
|
|
|
|
You can specify a particular version of Kubernetes by setting the `--version` flag or with the `KUBE_BENCH_VERSION` environment variable. The value of `--version` takes precedence over the value of `KUBE_BENCH_VERSION`.
|
|
|
|
For example, run kube-bench using the tests for Kubernetes version 1.13:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kube-bench --version 1.13
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can specify `--benchmark` to run a specific CIS Benchmark version:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kube-bench --benchmark cis-1.5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** It is an error to specify both `--version` and `--benchmark` flags together
|
|
|
|
#### Specifying Benchmark sections
|
|
|
|
If you want to run specific CIS Benchmark sections (i.e master, node, etcd, etc...)
|
|
you can use the `run --targets` subcommand.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kube-bench run --targets master,node
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kube-bench run --targets master,node,etcd,policies
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no targets are specified, `kube-bench` will determine the appropriate targets based on the CIS Benchmark version and the components detected on the node. The detection is done by verifying which components are running, as defined in the config files (see [Configuration](controls.md#configuration-and-variables).
|
|
|
|
#### Run specific check or group
|
|
|
|
`kube-bench` supports running individual checks by specifying the check's `id`
|
|
as a comma-delimited list on the command line with the `--check` | `-c` flag.
|
|
`kube-bench --check="1.1.1,1.1.2,1.2.1,1.3.3"`
|
|
|
|
`kube-bench` supports running all checks under group by specifying the group's `id`
|
|
as a comma-delimited list on the command line with the `--group` | `-g` flag.
|
|
`kube-bench --check="1.1,2.2"`
|
|
Will run all checks 1.1.X and 2.2.X.
|
|
|
|
#### Skip specific check or group
|
|
|
|
`kube-bench` supports skipping checks or groups by specifying the `id`
|
|
as a comma-delimited list on the command line with the `--skip` flag.
|
|
`kube-bench --skip="1.1,1.2.1,1.3.3"`
|
|
Will skip 1.1.X group and individual checks 1.2.1, 1.3.3.
|
|
Skipped checks returns [INFO] output.
|
|
|
|
#### Exit code
|
|
|
|
`kube-bench` supports using uniqe exit code when failing a check or more.
|
|
`kube-bench --exit-code 42`
|
|
Will return 42 if one check or more failed, and 0 incase none failed.
|
|
**Note:** [WARN] is not [FAIL].
|
|
|
|
#### Output manipulation flags
|
|
|
|
There are four output states:
|
|
- [PASS] indicates that the test was run successfully, and passed.
|
|
- [FAIL] indicates that the test was run successfully, and failed. The remediation output describes how to correct the configuration, or includes an error message describing why the test could not be run.
|
|
- [WARN] means this test needs further attention, for example it is a test that needs to be run manually. Check the remediation output for further information.
|
|
- [INFO] is informational output that needs no further action.
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
- Some tests with `Automated` in their description must still be run manually
|
|
- If the user has to run a test manually, this always generates WARN
|
|
- If the test is Scored, and kube-bench was unable to run the test, this generates FAIL (because the test has not been passed, and as a Scored test, if it doesn't pass then it must be considered a failure).
|
|
- If the test is Not Scored, and kube-bench was unable to run the test, this generates WARN.
|
|
- If the test is Scored, type is empty, and there are no `test_items` present, it generates a WARN. This is to highlight tests that appear to be incompletely defined.
|
|
|
|
`kube-bench` supports multiple output manipulation flags.
|
|
`kube-bench --include-test-output` will print failing checks output in the results section
|
|
```
|
|
[INFO] 1 Master Node Security Configuration
|
|
[INFO] 1.1 Master Node Configuration Files
|
|
[FAIL] 1.1.1 Ensure that the API server pod specification file permissions are set to 644 or more restrictive (Automated)
|
|
**permissions=777**
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** `--noresults` `--noremediations` and `--include-test-output` **will not** effect the json output but only stdout.
|
|
Only `--nototals` will effect the json output and thats because it will not call the function to calculate totals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Running `kube-bench` with the `-v 3` parameter 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"]`. Once the job has run, the logs can be retrieved using `kubectl logs` on the job's pod.
