azure_graph_generic_resource Resource

Use the azure_graph_generic_resource Inspec audit resource to test any valid Azure resource available through Microsoft Azure Graph API.

Azure REST API Version, Endpoint, and HTTP Client Parameters

This resource interacts with API versions supported by the resource provider. The api_version can be defined as a resource parameter. If not provided, this resource uses the latest version. For more information, refer to the azure_generic_resource document.

Unless defined, this resource uses the azure_cloud global endpoint and default values for the HTTP client. For more information, refer to the resource pack README.

Installation

This resource is available in the Chef InSpec Azure resource pack.

See the Chef InSpec documentation on cloud platforms for information on configuring your Azure environment for InSpec and creating an InSpec profile that uses the InSpec Azure resource pack.

Syntax

describe azure_graph_generic_resource(resource: 'resource', id: 'GUID', select: %w(attributes to be tested)) do
  its('property') { should eq 'value' }
end

where:

Resource parameters are used to query Azure Graph API endpoint for the resource to be tested.
property - This generic resource dynamically creates the properties on the fly based on the property names provided with the select parameter.
value is the expected output from the chosen property.

Parameters

The following parameters can be passed for targeting a specific Azure resource.

resource: Azure resource type that the targeted resource belongs to. For example, users.
id: Globally unique ID of the targeted resource. For example, jdoe@example.com.
select: The list of query parameters defining which attributes that the resource will expose. If not provided then the predefined attributes will be returned from the API. For example, ['givenName', 'surname', 'department'].
api_version: API version of the GRAPH API to use when interrogating the resource. If not set, then the predefined stable version will be used. For example, v1.0 or beta.

Properties

The properties that can be tested are entirely dependent on the Azure Resource that is tested and the query parameters provided with the select parameter.

Examples

Test properties of a user account.

describe azure_graph_generic_resource(resource: 'users', id: 'jdoe@contoso.com', select: %w{ surname givenName }) do
  its('surname') { should cmp 'Doe' }
  its('givenName') { should cmp 'John' }
end

For more examples, please see the integration tests.
