# InSpec Reporters
Introduced in InSpec 1.51.6
InSpec allows you to output your test results to one or more reporters. You can configure the reporter(s) using either the `--json-config` option or the `--reporter` option. While you can configure multiple reporters to write to different files, only one reporter can output to the screen(stdout).
## Syntax
You can specify one or more reporters using the `--reporter` cli flag. You can also specify a output by appending a path separated by a colon.
Output json to screen.
```bash
inspec exec --reporter json
or
inspec exec --reporter json:-
```
Output cli to screen and write json to a file.
```bash
inspec exec --reporter cli json:/tmp/output.json
```
Output nothing to screen and write junit and html to a file.
```bash
inspec exec --reporter junit:/tmp/junit.xml html:www/index.html
```
Output json to screen and write to a file. Write junit to a file.
```bash
inspec exec --reporter json junit:/tmp/junit.xml | tee out.json
```
If you are using the cli option `--json-config` you can also set reporters.
Output cli to screen.
```json
{
"reporter": {
"cli" : {
"stdout" : true
}
}
}
```
Output cli to screen and write json to a file.
```json
{
"reporter": {
"cli" : {
"stdout" : true
},
"json" : {
"file" : "/tmp/output.json",
"stdout" : false
}
}
}
```
## Supported Reporters
The following are the current supported reporters:
### cli
This is the basic text base report. It includes details about which tests passed and failed and includes an overall summary at the end.
### json
This reporter includes all information about the profiles and test results in standard json format.
### json-min
This reporter is a redacted version of the json and only includes test results.
### documentation
This reporter is a very minimal text base report. It shows you which tests passed by name and has a small summary at the end.
### junit
This reporter outputs the standard junit spec in xml format.
### progress
This reporter is very condensed and gives you a `.`(pass), `f`(fail), or `*`(skip) character per test and a small summary at the end.
### json-rspec
This reporter includes all information from the rspec runner. Unlike the json reporter this includes rspec specific details.
### html
This renders html code to view your tests in a browser. It includes all the test and summary information.
