Getting Started

Installation

Install Powerpipe (https://powerpipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:

brew install turbot/tap/powerpipe

This mod also requires Steampipe with the Azure plugin as the data source. Install Steampipe (https://steampipe.io/downloads), or use Brew:

brew install turbot/tap/steampipe
steampipe plugin install azure

Steampipe will automatically use your default Azure credentials. Optionally, you can setup multiple subscriptions or customize Azure credentials.

Finally, install the mod:

mkdir dashboards
cd dashboards
powerpipe mod init
powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-azure-perimeter

Browsing Dashboards

Start Steampipe as the data source:

steampipe service start

Start the dashboard server:

powerpipe server

Browse and view your dashboards at http://localhost:9033.

Running Checks in Your Terminal

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

List available benchmarks:

powerpipe benchmark list

Run a benchmark:

powerpipe benchmark run azure_perimeter.benchmark.network_access

Run a specific control:

powerpipe control run azure_perimeter.control.network_security_group_restrict_ingress_common_ports_all

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

Common and Tag Dimensions

The benchmark queries use common properties (like connection_name, resource_group, region, subscription and subscription_id) and tags that are defined in the form of a default list of strings in the variables.sp file. These properties can be overwritten in several ways:

It's easiest to setup your vars file, starting with the sample:

cp powerpipe.ppvars.example powerpipe.ppvars
vi powerpipe.ppvars

Alternatively you can pass variables on the command line:

powerpipe benchmark run azure_perimeter.benchmark.public_access_settings --var 'azure_perimeter.common_dimensions=["subscription_id", "connection_name", "resource_group"]'

Or through environment variables:

export PP_VAR_common_dimensions='["subscription_id", "connection_name", "resource_group"]'
export PP_VAR_tag_dimensions='["Environment", "Owner"]'
powerpipe control run azure_perimeter.control.network_security_group_restrict_ingress_common_ports_all
