Resources

Use the Inventory Resource page to:

• View all deployed resources across your cloud environments and code resources Infrastructure as Code (IaC) integrations.
• Find resources in your infrastructure that share properties, or belong to the same business unit.
• Take action on a posture violation or detected vulnerability by creating a Jira ticket, or accepting the risk.

Data in Inventory Resources is retained for 7 days. For more details, see Data Retention.

Enable Inventory Resources

Navigate the Resources Page

To access and navigate Inventory Resources page:

1. Log in to Sysdig Secure and select Inventory > Resources from the left side bar.

   Inventory displays all resources from cloud accounts, Kubernetes data sources, and IaC Git resources connected to Sysdig, along with their findings for compliance, vulnerabilities, exposure.

   Data shown in the UI is refreshed every 24 hours when a compliance evaluation is run.

2. Use the featured and unified filter to find targeted resources. If an account has an alias, use the account alias to search for the account in Inventory instead of the Account ID. Filtering based on Account ID is not currently supported if the account has an alias. See Filters and Queries.

3. Use Resource Indicators: On a resource card, hover over the Posture Policies Passing gauge, the Runtime Vulnerabilities thermometer, and the Network Exposure icon to get high-level insights about your resource.

   

4. Click a resource card to review the resource Posture, Vulnerabilities and Configuration details.

View Resource Details

Click on any resource to open the Details drawer. Here, you can use the different tabs to explore Posture, Vulnerabilities, Packages and Configuration. Available tabs will vary across different resources.

Use the Inventory search and filter bar to find resources with specific features. For example, you could filter all the resources with an Nginx package. Then, click any listed resource to see the packages tab, and find where the Nginx package resides.

Use the Resource Posture Tab

1. Click a resource card to open details and access the Posture tab.

   

   The number of failed policies is highlighted next to the tab name.

2. Select a failed policy to see the relevant controls to be remediated. The controls are grouped by requirement within each policy.

   For more information, see Evaluate and Remediate from Inventory.

Use the Resource Vulnerabilities Tab

1. Click a resource card to open the details drawer and access the Vulnerabilities tab. It contains the latest runtime vulnerabilities scan results for that image or workload.

   

   The number of critical vulnerabilities is highlighted next to the tab name. If Risk Spotlight is enabled, the number is of critical vulnerabilities in use.

2. View detected vulnerabilities and filter on those with a Fix, an Exploit, or an Accepted Risk. Filtering on In Use is available for Workloads (see Risk Spotlight).

   NOTE:

   • Runtime image scans include the Image ID. If the image was also scanned in Pipeline or Registry, then you can view it in the Pipeline or Registry Vulnerabilities interface using the 3-dot menu.

   • Cloud Host scans are performed against runtime packages.

   • Use the Image ID to view container images as a first-class citizen in Inventory or the Runtime Vulnerabilities interface from Workloads.

   • With Risk Spotlight enabled you can see which of your vulnerable packages are currently loaded in Runtime.

3. Click a CVE listing to open the full CVE details. Here you can see a description of the CVE, where else it has been reported, and whether a fix is available. You can also take action to Accept the Risk or Create a Jira ticket.

   

Use the Resource Packages Tab

1. Click a resource card to open the resource details drawer and select the Packages tab. It shows what packages have been identified in your resources.

   

   In the Packages tab, you will see Images, a table of Selected Image Packages, and a filter. The number of packages with critical vulnerabilities is highlighted next to the tab name.

2. Use Filter and Search: Search by package name or path. Filter by type, severity, and whether the package is in use, has an exploit, or has a fix.

3. Review details to see whether there are vulnerability findings, identify package locations, and check whether any update or patch is necessary.

4. Apply suggested fixes.

Use the Resource Configuration Tab

1. Click a resource card to open the details drawer and access the Configuration tab. It contains additional metadata and configuration details including the timestamp when the resource was last scanned.

   You can copy this or save it as a .txt file.

2. For Kubernetes hosts and clusters, you can search within the resource configuration by Origin or Attribute.

   

Use the Network Exposure Tab

1. Click a resource card to open the details drawer and access the Network Exposure tab.

   It provides data on how the resource is exposed. The number of exposed paths is highlighted beside the tab name.

2. Review highlighted Exposure path to see how a resource is exposed, internally or to the internet.

   

The following resources can have exposure tabs if they are exposed:

• Workloads.
• Hosts, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Instances, Azure Virtual Machines, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Compute Instances.
• Storage, such as Azure Blob, AWS S3, and GCP Cloud Storage Buckets.

Network Exposure

You can use one of the following risk indicators to determine the network resources in your cloud environment are vulnerable:

• Exposed: With the Exposed field, you can filter resources such as buckets, workloads, and virtual machines based on their exposure to the internet. This field indicates whether the resource configuration makes it accessible externally.
• Publicly Exposed: The Publicly Exposed filter helps determine whether resources are publicly exposed and Storage Buckets are reachable through Public ACL or public Policy configuration. Virtual machines are considered Publicly exposed if they are reachable and respond to the Sysdig Network Scanner on a TCP or UDP port range. Sysdig performs additional checks to verify if ports, protocols, and public IPs are exposed in your resources. To investigate further, you can download a JSON file that provides the public IP and port number exposed on VM instances.

Contact your Sysdig representative to enable the Publicly Exposed feature.

Supported Protocols

• TCP
• UDP

Supported IP Version

IPV4

Work with IaC Resources

If you have configured IaC scanning, you can view the resources supported by the Git-integrated scanner in the Inventory, such as YAML, Terraform, and Helm charts. The view of each code resource includes:

• resource metadata
• configuration details
• posture violations that can be remediated with automated workflows.

For more information, see IaC Support.

Search for IaC Resources

IaC resources from Git repository scans are labeled code in the Inventory UI, to distinguish them from deployed resources in your cloud environments.

1. Filter for Resource Origin = Code.

   In the resulting list, a visual tag (< >) on the logo to distinguish code resources.

   

2. Other options: Filter by Source Type, Location, Git Integration, or Repository.

Filters and Queries

There are two filtering options in the Inventory UI: the Sysdig unified filter bar at the top, and the Featured Filters column on the left.

Unified Filter

As in other parts of the Sysdig Secure interface, the unified filter bar allows you to build sophisticated queries using:

• Drop-down menu items and operators
• Clickable resource elements on the Inventory page

Featured Filters

The Featured Filters panel, populated by Sysdig, displays your environment’s most useful filter types. It lets you narrow down to your most prevalent and “at risk” resources and includes resource counting and risk indicators.

You can:

• Open and close the panel from the top-left arrow symbol.

• Click In/!In or Yes/No beside any featured filter item to include it in the query you are building in the unified filter.

• View by Risk indicators associated with Vulnerabilities: Has Fix and Has Exploits

Evaluate and Remediate from Inventory

You can evaluate and remediate posture violations for your deployed and code (IaC) resources from the Inventory interface.

The steps are the same as in the Compliance module, with the following modifications:

• For IaC resources, you cannot remediate manually or select Accept Risk.

For certain controls, you can open a pull request to remediate a code resource.

Use the Inventory API

Query the Secure API to get a list of multiple inventory resources or retrieve a single one.

• For details, see the Inventory entries in the API documentation.

• For API doc links for additional regions or steps to access them from within the Sysdig Secure UI, see the Developer Tools overview.

Inventory Data Dictionary

You can construct searches/filters by attribute name in the Inventory unified filter.
