OpenReports API

The OpenReports API enables uniform reporting of results and findings from policy engines, scanners, or other tooling.

This repository contains the API specification and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).

Concepts

The API provides a ClusterReport and its namespaced variant Report.

Each Report contains a set of results and a summary. Each result contains attributes such as the source policy and rule name, severity, timestamp, and the resource.

Installing

Typically the Report API is installed and managed by a producer. However, if you want to install it independently, there are multiple ways to do so:

Manifest

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/openreports/reports-api/releases/download/<version>/install.yaml

Helm

# Using OCI
helm install oci://ghcr.io/openreports/charts/openreports:<version>

# Using the github repository
helm repo add openreports https://openreports.github.io/reports-api
helm install openreports/openreports

Demonstration

To try out the Report API in your cluster, you can follow the steps bellow:

1. Add Report API CRDs to your cluster:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/openreports/reports-api/releases/download/v0.1.0/install.yaml

2. Create a sample policy report resource:

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openreports/reports-api/refs/heads/main/samples/sample-cis-k8s.yaml

3. View policy report resources:

kubectl get reports
