Usage:
/usr/bin/kube-bench [flags]
/usr/bin/kube-bench [command]
Available Commands:
completion Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
help Help about any command
run Run tests
version Shows the version of kube-bench.
Flags:
--alsologtostderr log to standard error as well as files
--asff Send the results to AWS Security Hub
--benchmark string Manually specify CIS benchmark version. It would be an error to specify both --version and --benchmark flags
-c, --check string A comma-delimited list of checks to run as specified in CIS document. Example --check="1.1.1,1.1.2"
--config string config file (default is ./cfg/config.yaml)
-D, --config-dir string config directory (default "/etc/kube-bench/cfg")
--exit-code int Specify the exit code for when checks fail
-g, --group string Run all the checks under this comma-delimited list of groups. Example --group="1.1"
-h, --help help for /usr/bin/kube-bench
--include-test-output Prints the actual result when test fails
--json Prints the results as JSON
--junit Prints the results as JUnit
--log_backtrace_at traceLocations when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace
--log_dir string If non-empty, write log files in this directory
--log_link string If non-empty, add symbolic links in this directory to the log files
--logbuflevel int Buffer log messages logged at this level or lower (-1 means don't buffer; 0 means buffer INFO only; ...). Has limited applicability on non-prod platforms.
--logtostderr log to standard error instead of files (default true)
--noremediations Disable printing of remediations section
--noresults Disable printing of results section
--nosummary Disable printing of summary section
--nototals Disable printing of totals for failed, passed, ... checks across all sections
--outputfile string Writes the results to output file when run with --json or --junit
--pgsql Save the results to PostgreSQL
--scored Run the scored CIS checks (default true)
--skip string List of comma separated values of checks to be skipped
--stderrthreshold severityFlag logs at or above this threshold go to stderr (default 2)
--unscored Run the unscored CIS checks (default true)
-v, --v Level log level for V logs
--version string Manually specify Kubernetes version, automatically detected if unset
--vmodule vModuleFlag comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
