Getting started

Installation

Download and install Steampipe (https://steampipe.io/downloads). Or use Brew:

brew tap turbot/tap
brew install steampipe

Install the GitHub plugin with Steampipe:

steampipe plugin install github

Clone:

git clone https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-github-sherlock.git
cd steampipe-mod-github-sherlock

Usage

Start your dashboard server to get started:

steampipe dashboard

By default, the dashboard interface will then be launched in a new browser window at https://localhost:9194. From here, you can run benchmarks by selecting one or searching for a specific one.

Instead of running benchmarks in a dashboard, you can also run them within your terminal with the steampipe check command:

Run all benchmarks:

steampipe check all

Run a single benchmark:

steampipe check benchmark.org_best_practices

Run a specific control:

steampipe check control.org_two_factor_required

Different output formats are also available, for more information please see Output Formats.

Credentials

This mod uses the credentials configured in the Steampipe GitHub plugin.

Configuration

No extra configuration is required.
