apache_conf
=====================================================
Use the ``apache_conf`` |inspec resource| to test the configuration settings for |apache|. This file is typically located under ``/etc/apache2`` on the |debian| and |ubuntu| platforms and under ``/etc/httpd`` on the |fedora|, |centos|, |redhat enterprise linux|, and |archlinux| platforms. The configuration settings may vary significantly from platform to platform.
**Stability: Experimental**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
An ``apache_conf`` |inspec resource| block declares configuration settings that should be tested:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe apache_conf('path') do
its('setting_name') { should eq 'value' }
end
where
* ``'setting_name'`` is a configuration setting defined in the |apache| configuration file
* ``('path')`` is the non-default path to the |apache| configuration file
* ``{ should eq 'value' }`` is the value that is expected
Matchers
-----------------------------------------------------
This |inspec resource| matches any service that is listed in the |apache| configuration file:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('PidFile') { should_not eq '/var/run/httpd.pid' }
or:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('Timeout') { should eq 300 }
For example:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe apache_conf do
its('MaxClients') { should eq 100 }
its('Listen') { should eq '443'}
end
Examples
-----------------------------------------------------
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource in a test.
**Test for blocking .htaccess files on CentOS**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe apache_conf do
its('AllowOverride') { should eq 'None' }
end
**Test ports for SSL**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe apache_conf do
its('Listen') { should eq '443'}
end
apt
=====================================================
Use the ``apt`` |inspec resource| to verify |apt| repositories on the |debian| and |ubuntu| platforms, and also |ppa| repositories on the |ubuntu| platform.
**Stability: Stable**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
An ``apt`` |inspec resource| block tests the contents of |apt| and |ppa| repositories:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe apt('path') do
it { should exist }
it { should be_enabled }
end
where
* ``apt('path')`` must specify an |apt| or |ppa| repository
* ``('path')`` may be an ``http://`` address, a ``ppa:`` address, or a short ``repo-name/ppa`` address
* ``exist`` and ``be_enabled`` are a valid matchers for this |inspec resource|
Matchers
-----------------------------------------------------
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers.
be_enabled
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``be_enabled`` matcher tests if a package exists in the repository:
.. code-block:: ruby
it { should be_enabled }
exist
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``exist`` matcher tests if a package exists on the system:
.. code-block:: ruby
it { should exist }
Examples
-----------------------------------------------------
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource in a test.
**Test if apt repository exists and is enabled**

it { should_not exist }
it { should_not be_enabled }
end
audit_policy
=====================================================
Use the ``audit_policy`` |inspec resource| to test auditing policies on the |windows| platform. An auditing policy is a category of security-related events to be audited. Auditing is disabled by default and may be enabled for categories like account management, logon events, policy changes, process tracking, privilege use, system events, or object access. For each auditing category property that is enabled, the auditing level may be set to ``No Auditing``, ``Not Specified``, ``Success``, ``Success and Failure``, or ``Failure``.
**Stability: Experimental**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
An ``audit_policy`` |inspec resource| block declares a parameter that belongs to an audit policy category or subcategory:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe audit_policy do
its('parameter') { should eq 'value' }
end
where
* ``'parameter'`` must specify a parameter
* ``'value'`` must be one of ``No Auditing``, ``Not Specified``, ``Success``, ``Success and Failure``, or ``Failure``

end
**Test that a parameter is set to "Success"**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe audit_policy do
its('User Account Management') { should eq 'Success' }
end
auditd_conf
=====================================================
Use the ``auditd_conf`` |inspec resource| to test the configuration settings for the audit daemon. This file is typically located under ``/etc/audit/auditd.conf'`` on |unix| and |linux| platforms.

its('keyword') { should eq 'value' }
end
where
* ``'keyword'`` is a configuration setting defined in the ``auditd.conf`` configuration file
* ``('path')`` is the non-default path to the ``auditd.conf`` configuration file
* ``{ should eq 'value' }`` is the value that is expected

its('admin_space_left_action') { should eq 'halt' }
its('disk_full_action') { should eq 'halt' }
its('disk_error_action') { should eq 'halt' }
end
auditd_rules
=====================================================
Use the ``auditd_rules`` |inspec resource| to test the rules for logging that exist on the system. The ``audit.rules`` file is typically located under ``/etc/audit/`` and contains the list of rules that define what is captured in log files.
**Stability: Experimental**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``auditd_rules`` |inspec resource| block declares one (or more) rules to be tested, and then what that rule should do:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe auditd_rules do
its('LIST_RULES') { should eq [
'exit,always syscall=rmdir,unlink',
'exit,always auid=1001 (0x3e9) syscall=open',
'exit,always watch=/etc/group perm=wa',
'exit,always watch=/etc/passwd perm=wa',
'exit,always watch=/etc/shadow perm=wa',
'exit,always watch=/etc/sudoers perm=wa',
'exit,always watch=/etc/secret_directory perm=r',
] }
end
or test that individual rules are defined:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe auditd_rules do
its('LIST_RULES') {should contain_match(/^exit,always watch=\/etc\/group perm=wa key=identity/) }
its('LIST_RULES') {should contain_match(/^exit,always watch=\/etc\/passwd perm=wa key=identity/) }
its('LIST_RULES') {should contain_match(/^exit,always watch=\/etc\/gshadow perm=wa key=identity/)}
its('LIST_RULES') {should contain_match(/^exit,always watch=\/etc\/shadow perm=wa key=identity/)}
its('LIST_RULES') {should contain_match(/^exit,always watch=\/etc\/security\/opasswd perm=wa key=identity/)}
end
where each test
* Must declare one (or more) rules to be tested
Examples
-----------------------------------------------------

its("LIST_RULES") {
should contain_match(/^exit,always arch=.* key=time-change syscall=adjtimex,settimeofday/)
}
end
bond
=====================================================
Use the ``bond`` |inspec resource| to test a logical, bonded network interface (i.e. "two or more network interfaces aggregated into a single, logical network interface"). On |linux| platforms, any value in the ``/proc/net/bonding`` directory may be tested.
**Stability: Stable**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``bond`` |inspec resource| block declares a bonded network interface, and then specifies the properties of that bonded network interface to be tested:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe bond('name') do
it { should exist }
end
where

exist
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``exist`` matcher tests if the bonded network interface is available:
.. code-block:: ruby
it { should exist }
have_interface
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``have_interface`` matcher tests if the bonded network interface has one (or more) secondary interfaces:
.. code-block:: ruby
it { should have_interface }

=====================================================
Use the ``etc_group`` |inspec resource| to test groups that are defined on |linux| and |unix| platforms. The ``/etc/group`` file stores details about each group---group name, password, group identifier, along with a comma-separate list of users that belong to the group.
**Stability: Experimental**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``etc_group`` |inspec resource| block declares a collection of properties to be tested:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe etc_group('path') do
its('matcher') { should eq 'some_value' }

its('gids') { should_not contain_duplicates }
its('groups') { should include 'user_name' }
its('users') { should include 'user_name' }
end

etc_group.where(item: 'value', item: 'value')
where ``item`` may be one (or more) of:
* ``name: 'name'``
* ``group_name: 'group_name'``
* ``password: 'password'``

The ``content`` matcher tests if contents in the file match the value specified in the test. The values of the ``content`` matcher are arbitrary and depend on the file type being tested and also the type of information that is expected to be in that file:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('content') { should contain 'value' }
The following complete example tests the ``pg_hba.conf`` file in |postgresql| for |md5| requirements. The tests look at all ``host`` and ``local`` settings in that file, and then compare the |md5| checksums against the values in the test:
.. code-block:: bash
describe file(hba_config_file) do
its('content') { should match '/local\s.*?all\s.*?all\s.*?md5/' }
its('content') { should match '%r{/host\s.*?all\s.*?all\s.*?127.0.0.1\/32\s.*?md5/}' }
its('content') { should match '%r{/host\s.*?all\s.*?all\s.*?::1\/128\s.*?md5/}' }
end
exist
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``exist`` matcher tests if the named file exists:
.. code-block:: ruby
it { should exist }
file_version
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``file_version`` matcher tests if the file's version matches the specified value. The difference between a file's "file version" and "product version" is that the file version is the version number of the file itself, whereas the product version is the version number associated with the application from which that file originates:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('file_version') { should eq '1.2.3' }
group
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``group`` matcher tests if the group to which a file belongs matches the specified value:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('group') { should eq 'admins' }
have_mode
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``have_mode`` matcher tests if a file has a mode assigned to it:
.. code-block:: ruby
it { should have_mode }
link_path
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``link_path`` matcher tests if the file exists at the specified path:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('link_path') { should eq '/some/path/to/file' }
link_target
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``link_target`` matcher tests if a file that is linked to this file exists at the specified path:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('link_target') { should eq '/some/path/to/file' }
md5sum
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``md5sum`` matcher tests if the |md5| checksum for a file matches the specified value:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('md5sum') { should eq '3329x3hf9130gjs9jlasf2305mx91s4j' }
mode
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``mode`` matcher tests if the mode assigned to the file matches the specified value:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('mode') { should eq 0644 }
mtime
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``mtime`` matcher tests if the file modification time for the file matches the specified value:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('mtime') { should eq 'October 31 2015 12:10:45' }
or:
.. code-block:: bash
describe file('/').mtime.to_i do
it { should <= Time.now.to_i }
it { should >= Time.now.to_i - 1000}
end
owner
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``owner`` matcher tests if the owner of the file matches the specified value:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('owner') { should eq 'root' }
product_version
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``product_version`` matcher tests if the file's product version matches the specified value. The difference between a file's "file version" and "product version" is that the file version is the version number of the file itself, whereas the product version is the version number associated with the application from which that file originates:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('product_version') { should eq 2.3.4 }
selinux_label
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``selinux_label`` matcher tests if the |selinux| label for a file matches the specified value:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('selinux_label') { should eq 'system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0' }
sha256sum
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``sha256sum`` matcher tests if the |sha256| checksum for a file matches the specified value:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('sha256sum') { should eq 'b837ch38lh19bb8eaopl8jvxwd2e4g58jn9lkho1w3ed9jbkeicalplaad9k0pjn' }
size
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``size`` matcher tests if a file's size matches, is greater than, or is less than the specified value. For example, equal:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('size') { should eq 32375 }
Greater than:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('size') { should > 64 }
Less than:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('size') { should < 10240 }
type
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``type`` matcher tests if the first letter of the file's mode string contains one of the following characters:
* ``-`` or ``f`` (the file is a file); use ``'file`` to test for this file type
* ``d`` (the file is a directory); use ``'directory`` to test for this file type
* ``l`` (the file is a symbolic link); use ``'link`` to test for this file type
* ``p`` (the file is a named pipe); use ``'pipe`` to test for this file type
* ``s`` (the file is a socket); use ``'socket`` to test for this file type
* ``c`` (the file is a character device); use ``'character`` to test for this file type
* ``b`` (the file is a block device); use ``'block`` to test for this file type
* ``D`` (the file is a door); use ``'door`` to test for this file type
For example:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('type') { should eq 'file' }
or:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('type') { should eq 'socket' }

end
gem
=====================================================
Use the ``gem`` |inspec resource| to test if a global |gem| package is installed.
**Stability: Experimental**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``gem`` |inspec resource| block declares a package and (optionally) a package version:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe gem('gem_package_name') do
it { should be_installed }
end
where

Use the ``group`` |inspec resource| to test groups on the system.
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``group`` |inspec resource| block declares a group, and then the details to be tested, such as if the group is a local group, the group identifier, or if the group exists:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe group('group_name') do
it { should exist }
its('gid') { should eq 0 }
end
where
* ``'group_name'`` must specify the name of a group on the system

host
=====================================================
Use the ``host`` |inspec resource| to test the name used to refer to a specific host and its availability, including the Internet protocols and ports over which that host name should be available.
**Stability: Stable**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``host`` |inspec resource| block declares a host name, and then (depending on what is to be tested) a port and/or a protocol:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe host('example.com', port: 80, proto: 'tcp') do
it { should be_reachable }
end
where
* ``host()`` must specify a host name and may specify a port number and/or a protocol
* ``'example.com'`` is the host name
* ``port:`` is the port number
* ``proto: 'name'`` is the Internet protocol: |tcp| (``proto: 'tcp'``), |udp| (``proto: 'udp'`` or |icmp| (``proto: 'icmp'``))
* ``be_reachable`` is a valid matcher for this |inspec resource|
Matchers
-----------------------------------------------------
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers.
be_reachable
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``be_reachable`` matcher tests if the host name is available:
.. code-block:: ruby
it { should be_reachable }
be_resolvable
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ``be_resolvable`` matcher tests for host name resolution, i.e. "resolvable to an IP address":
.. code-block:: ruby
it { should be_resolvable }
ipaddress
-----------------------------------------------------
The ``ipaddress`` matcher tests if a host name is resolvable to a specific IP address:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('ipaddress') { should include '93.184.216.34' }
Examples
-----------------------------------------------------
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
**Verify host name s reachable over a specific protocol and port number**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe host('example.com', port: 53, proto: 'udp') do
it { should be_reachable }
end
**Verify that a specific IP address can be resolved**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe host('example.com', port: 80, proto: 'tcp') do
it { should be_resolvable }
its('ipaddress') { should include '192.168.1.1' }
end
inetd_conf
=====================================================
Use the ``inetd_conf`` |inspec resource| to test if a service is enabled in the ``inetd.conf`` file on |linux| and |unix| platforms. |inetd|---the Internet service daemon---listens on dedicated ports, and then loads the appropriate program based on a request. The ``inetd.conf`` file is typically located at ``/etc/inetd.conf`` and contains a list of Internet services associated to the ports on which that service will listen. Only enabled services may handle a request; only services that are required by the system should be enabled.
**Stability: Experimental**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
An ``inetd_conf`` |inspec resource| block declares the list of services that are enabled in the ``inetd.conf`` file:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe inetd_conf('path') do
its('service_name') { should eq 'value' }
end
where
* ``'service_name'`` is a service listed in the ``inetd.conf`` file
* ``('path')`` is the non-default path to the ``inetd.conf`` file
* ``should eq 'value'`` is the value that is expected
Matchers
-----------------------------------------------------
This |inspec resource| matches any service that is listed in the ``inetd.conf`` file. You may want to ensure that specific services do not listen via ``inetd.conf``:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('shell') { should eq nil }
or:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('netstat') { should eq nil }
or:
.. code-block:: ruby
its('systat') { should eq nil }
For example:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe inetd_conf do
its('shell') { should eq nil }
its('login') { should eq nil }
its('exec') { should eq nil }
end
Examples
-----------------------------------------------------
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
**Verify that FTP is disabled**
The contents if the ``inetd.conf`` file contain the following:
.. code-block:: text
#ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
#telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
and the following test is defined:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe inetd_conf do
its('ftp') { should eq nil }
its('telnet') { should eq nil }
end
Because both the ``ftp`` and ``telnet`` Internet services are commented out (``#``), both services are disabled. Consequently, both tests will return ``true``. However, if the ``inetd.conf`` file is set as follows:
.. code-block:: text
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
#telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
then the same test will return ``false`` for ``ftp`` and the entire test will fail.
**Test if telnet is installed**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe package('telnetd') do
it { should_not be_installed }
end
describe inetd_conf do
its('telnet') { should eq nil }
end
interface
=====================================================
Use the ``interface`` |inspec resource| to test basic network adapter properties, such as name, status, state, address, and link speed (in MB/sec).
* On |linux| platforms, ``/sys/class/net/#{iface}`` is used as source
* On the |windows| platform, the ``Get-NetAdapter`` cmdlet is used as source
**Stability: Stable**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
An ``interface`` |inspec resource| block declares network interface properties to be tested:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe interface do
it { should be_up }
its('speed') { should eq 1000 }
its('name') { should eq eth0 }
end

iptables
=====================================================
Use the ``iptables`` |inspec resource| to test rules that are defined in ``iptables``, which maintains tables of IP packet filtering rules. There may be more than one table. Each table contains one (or more) chains (both built-in and custom). A chain is a list of rules that match packets. When the rule matches, the rule defines what target to assign to the packet.
**Stability: Experimental**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``iptables`` |inspec resource| block declares tests for rules in IP tables:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe iptables(rule:'name', table:'name', chain: 'name') do
it { should have_rule('RULE') }
end
where
* ``iptables()`` may specify any combination of ``rule``, ``table``, or ``chain``
* ``rule:'name'`` is the name of a rule that matches a set of packets
* ``table:'name'`` is the packet matching table against which the test is run
* ``chain: 'name'`` is the name of a user-defined chain or one of ``ACCEPT``, ``DROP``, ``QUEUE``, or ``RETURN``
* ``have_rule('RULE')`` tests that rule in the iptables file
Matchers
-----------------------------------------------------
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers.
have_rule
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

-----------------------------------------------------
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
**Test if the IP table allows a packet through**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe iptables do
it { should have_rule('-P INPUT ACCEPT') }
end

**Test a cookbook version in a policyfile.lock.json file**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe json('policyfile.lock.json') do
its('cookbook_locks.omnibus.version') { should eq('2.2.0') }
end
kernel_module
=====================================================
Use the ``kernel_module`` |inspec resource| to test kernel modules on |linux| platforms. These parameters are located under ``/lib/modules``. Any submodule may be tested using this resource.
**Stability: Stable**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``kernel_module`` |inspec resource| block declares a module name, and then tests if that module is a loadable kernel module:
.. code-block:: ruby
describe kernel_module('module_name') do
it { should be_loaded }
end
where
* ``'module_name'`` must specify a kernel module, such as ``'bridge'``

its('domain') { should eq ['type', 'item', 'value'] }
end
where
* ``('path')`` is the non-default path to the ``inetd.conf`` file
* ``'domain'`` is a user or group name, such as ``grantmc``
* ``'type'`` is either ``hard`` or ``soft``

parse_config
=====================================================
Use the ``parse_config`` |inspec resource| to test arbitrary configuration files.
**Stability: Experimental**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``parse_config`` |inspec resource| block declares the location of the configuration setting to be tested, and then what value is to be tested. Because this |inspec resource| relies on arbitrary configuration files, the test itself is often arbitrary and relies on custom |ruby| code:
.. code-block:: ruby
output = command('some-command').stdout
describe parse_config(output, { data_config_option: value } ) do
its('setting') { should eq 1 }
end
or:
.. code-block:: ruby
audit = command('/sbin/auditctl -l').stdout
options = {
assignment_re: /^\s*([^:]*?)\s*:\s*(.*?)\s*$/,
multiple_values: true
}
describe parse_config(audit, options) do
its('setting') { should eq 1 }
end
where each test
* Must declare the location of the configuration file to be tested
* Must declare one (or more) settings to be tested
* May run a command to ``stdout``, and then run the test against that output
* May use options to define how configuration data is to be parsed
Options
-----------------------------------------------------
This |inspec resource| supports the following options for parsing configuration data. Use them in an ``options`` block stated outside of (and immediately before) the actual test:
.. code-block:: ruby
options = {
assignment_re: /^\s*([^:]*?)\s*:\s*(.*?)\s*$/,
multiple_values: true
}
describe parse_config(options) do
its('setting') { should eq 1 }
end
assignment_re
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``assignment_re`` to test a key value using a regular expression:
.. code-block:: ruby
'key = value'
may be tested using the following regular expression, which determines assignment from key to value:
.. code-block:: ruby
assignment_re: /^\s*([^=]*?)\s*=\s*(.*?)\s*$/
comment_char
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``comment_char`` to test for comments in a configuration file:
.. code-block:: ruby
comment_char: '#'
key_vals
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``key_vals`` to test how many values a key contains:
.. code-block:: ruby
key = a b c
contains three values. To test that value to ensure it only contains one, use:
.. code-block:: ruby
key_vals: 1
multiple_values
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``multiple_values`` if the source file uses the same key multiple times. All values will be aggregated in an array:
.. code-block:: ruby
# # file structure:
# key = a
# key = b
# key2 = c
params['key'] = ['a', 'b']
params['key2'] = ['c']
To use plain key value mapping, use ``multiple_values: false``:
.. code-block:: ruby
# # file structure:
# key = a
# key = b
# key2 = c
params['key'] = 'b'
params['key2'] = 'c'
standalone_comments
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``standalone_comments`` to parse comments as a line , otherwise inline comments are allowed:
.. code-block:: ruby
'key = value # comment'
params['key'] = 'value # comment'
Use ``standalone_comments: false``, to parse the following:
.. code-block:: ruby
'key = value # comment'
params['key'] = 'value'
Examples
-----------------------------------------------------
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
**Test the expiration time for new account passwords**
.. code-block:: ruby
output = command('useradd -D').stdout
describe parse_config(output) do

.. code-block:: ruby
describe parse_config(data, { multiple_values: true }) do
its('users') { should include 'bob'}
end
parse_config_file
=====================================================
Use the ``parse_config_file`` InSpec audit resource to test arbitrary configuration files. It works identiacal to ``parse_config``. Instead of using a command output, this resource works with files.
**Stability: Experimental**
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
A ``parse_config_file`` InSpec audit resource block declares the location of the configuration file to be tested, and then which settings in that file are to be tested.
.. code-block:: ruby
describe parse_config_file('/path/to/file', { data_config_option: value } ) do
its('setting') { should eq 1 }
end
or:
.. code-block:: ruby
options = {
assignment_re: /^\s*([^:]*?)\s*:\s*(.*?)\s*$/,
multiple_values: true
}
describe parse_config_file('path/to/file', options) do
its('setting') { should eq 1 }
end
where each test
* Must declare the location of the configuration file to be tested
* Must declare one (or more) settings to be tested
* May run a command to ``stdout``, and then run the test against that output
* May use options to define how configuration data is to be parsed
Options
-----------------------------------------------------
This |inspec resource| supports the following options for parsing configuration data. Use them in an ``options`` block stated outside of (and immediately before) the actual test:
.. code-block:: ruby
options = {
assignment_re: /^\s*([^:]*?)\s*:\s*(.*?)\s*$/,
multiple_values: true
}
describe parse_config_file('path/to/file', options) do
its('setting') { should eq 1 }
end
assignment_re
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``assignment_re`` to parse a key value using a regular expression:
.. code-block:: ruby
'key = value'
may be parsed using the following regular expression, which determines assignment from key to value:
.. code-block:: ruby
assignment_re: /^\s*([^=]*?)\s*=\s*(.*?)\s*$/
comment_char
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``comment_char`` to parse for comments in a configuration file:
.. code-block:: ruby
comment_char: '#'
key_vals
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``key_vals`` to parse how many values a key contains:
.. code-block:: ruby
key = a b c
contains three values. To test that value to ensure it only contains one, use:
.. code-block:: ruby
key_vals: 1
multiple_values
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``multiple_values`` if the source file uses the same key multiple times. All values will be aggregated in an array:
.. code-block:: ruby
# # file structure:
# key = a
# key = b
# key2 = c
params['key'] = ['a', 'b']
params['key2'] = ['c']
To use plain key value mapping, use ``multiple_values: false``:
.. code-block:: ruby
# # file structure:
# key = a
# key = b
# key2 = c
params['key'] = 'b'
params['key2'] = 'c'
standalone_comments
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Use ``standalone_comments`` to parse comments as a line , otherwise inline comments are allowed:
.. code-block:: ruby
'key = value # comment'
params['key'] = 'value # comment'
Use ``standalone_comments: false``, to parse the following:
.. code-block:: ruby
'key = value # comment'
params['key'] = 'value'
Examples
-----------------------------------------------------
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
**Test a configuration setting**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe parse_config_file('/path/to/file.conf') do
its('PARAM_X') { should eq 'Y' }

**Use options, and then test a configuration setting**
.. code-block:: ruby
describe parse_config_file('/path/to/file.conf', { multiple_values: true }) do
its('PARAM_X') { should include 'Y' }
end
passwd
=====================================================
