locals

Powerpipe is now the recommended way to run dashboards and benchmarks! Mods still work as normal in Steampipe for now, but they are deprecated and will be removed in a future release:

• Steampipe Unbundled →
• Powerpipe for Steampipe users →

The locals block defines and sets one or more local variables, using standard HCL assignment syntax. The locals are scoped to the mod, and a mod may contain multiple locals blocks. Locals may reference other values in the mod, including other local values.

You can reference local values as local.<NAME>

Example Usage

locals {
  cis_version = "v1.4.0"
  plugin_name = "aws"
}

locals {
  cis_v140_common_tags = {
    cis         = "true"
    cis_version = local.cis_version
    plugin      = local.plugin_name
  }
}

benchmark "cis_v140" {
  title         = "CIS v1.4.0"
  description   = "The CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations Benchmark provides prescriptive guidance for configuring security options for a subset of Amazon Web Services with an emphasis on foundational, testable, and architecture agnostic settings."
  documentation = file("./cis_v140/docs/cis_overview.md")
  children = [
    benchmark.cis_v140_1,
    benchmark.cis_v140_2,
    benchmark.cis_v140_3,
    benchmark.cis_v140_4,
    benchmark.cis_v140_5
  ]
  tags = local.cis_v140_common_tags
}
