inspec-reporter-pophtml Plugin

An eye-popping HTML output reporter specifically for Chef InSpec. The reporter knows about Chef InSpec structures like Controls and Profiles, and includes full metadata such as control tags, etc.

To Install This Plugin

This plugin ships with Chef InSpec and requires no installation.

It should appear when you run:

you@machine $ git clone https://github.com/alexpop/inspec-reporter-pophtml.git
you@machine $ inspec plugin install inspec-reporter-pophtml

How to use this plugin

To generate an HTML report using this plugin and save the output to a file named report.html, run:

you@machine $ inspec exec some_profile --reporter pophtml:/tmp/report.html

Note the pophtml in the reporter name.

Configuring the Plugin

The pophtml reporter requires no configuration to function. However, two options--alternate_css_file and alternate_js_file--are available for customization. The options are set in the JSON-formatted configuration file that Chef InSpec consumes. For details, see our configuration file documentation.

For example:

{
  "version": "1.2",
  "plugins": {
    "inspec-reporter-pophtml": {
      "alternate_js_file":"/var/www/js/my-javascript.js",
      "alternate_css_file":"/var/www/css/my-style.css",
      "report_uuid": "f3f640f6-8a64-4aaa-b142-555555555555"
    }
  }
}

See below all customization options available:

Option	Description
alternate_js_file	Full path to a javascript file instead of the default default.js that will be inlined into the HTML report. The default JavaScript will not be included. The JavaScript file should implement at least a pageLoaded() function, which will be called by the onload event of the HTML body element.
alternate_css_file	Full path to a stylesheet file instead of the default default.css that will be inlined into the HTML report.
alternate_preety_js_file	Full path to a prettify javascript file instead of the default code_prettify.js
alternate_preety_css_file	Full path to a prettify stylesheet file instead of the default code_prettify_dark.css
max_results_per_control	Number of results per control to show when results are expanded. Defaults to 3
report_id	Give an ID to this report, otherwise a random UUID will be generated.
node_id	Give an ID to this node, defaults to "NOT_SPECIFIED"
node_name	Give a name to this node, defaults to "NOT_SPECIFIED"
tags	Array of tags for this report, defaults to ["NOT","SPECIFIED"]

How to use a config json

A sample configuration file sample-config.json can be found in this repository. Here's an example exec with a config file where you can customize some of the defaults in the plugin.

you@machine $ inspec exec some_profile --reporter pophtml:/tmp/report.html --config sample-config.json
