Reporting

Introduction

Use the Vulnerability Reporting interface to schedule asynchronous reports about detected runtime vulnerabilities along with package and image data.

Here you can:

• Create a report definition
• Schedule its frequency
• Define notification channel(s) in which to receive the reports (email, Slack, or webhook)
• Preview how the data will appear (optional)
• Download the resulting reports in .csv, .json, or .ndjson

Create a Report Definition

1. Log in to Sysdig Secure with Advanced User or higher permissions, and select Vulnerabilities > Reporting.

   The Vulnerabilities Reporting list page is displayed. If you have previously created report definitions, you can click one to see the details.

   

2. Click Add Report . The New Report page is displayed.

   

3. Define the report basic info:

   • Name
   • Description
   • Export format: .csv, .json, or .ndjson
   • Scope: Entire infrastructure or subset from the drop-down menu

4. Optional: Add Conditions from the drop-down if you want to filter the items reported on.

   For example, you might want a report of all vulnerabilites with a Severity >= High, and for which a Fix is Available.

   

   The available conditions include:

   • Vulnerability ID
   • Image name
   • Package name
   • Package version
   • Package type
   • Severity
   • CVSS score
   • CVSS vector
   • Vuln publish date
   • Vuln fix date
   • Fix available
   • OS name

5. Define the Schedule (frequency and time of day) that the report should be run.

   Note: The schedule determines when the report data collection begins. As soon as evaluation is complete, you will receive a notification in the configured notification channels.

   

6. Notification Channel: If you have configured them, you can use email, Slack, or webhook notification channels, and they will appear in the drop-down. Since reports are typically large, the actual data is not sent to the notification channel; you receive a link to download it. You must be a valid Sysdig Secure user (Advanced User+) to access the link.

7. Data Preview: Click Refresh to apply the configuration you’ve chosen and pull up on the center bar of the Data Preview panel to see sample results.

8. Click Save.
