Configuration

anchore-ecs-inventory needs to be configured with AWS credentials and Anchore ECS Inventory configuration.

AWS Credentials

Anchore ECS Inventory uses the AWS SDK for Go. The SDK will look for credentials in the following order:

  1. Environment variables
  2. Shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials)
    [default]
    aws_access_key_id = <YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID>
    aws_secret_access_key = <YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
    

Anchore ECS Inventory Configuration

Anchore ECS Inventory can be configured with a configuration file. The default location the configuration file is looked for is ~/.anchore-ecs-inventory.yaml. The configuration file can be overridden with the -c flag.

log:
  # level of logging that anchore-ecs-inventory will do  { 'error' | 'info' | 'debug }
  level: "info"
  
  # location to write the log file (default is not to have a log file)
  file: "./anchore-ecs-inventory.log"

anchore:
  # anchore enterprise api url  (e.g. http://localhost:8228)
  url: $ANCHORE_ECS_INVENTORY_ANCHORE_URL
  
  # anchore enterprise username
  user: $ANCHORE_ECS_INVENTORY_ANCHORE_USER 
  
  # anchore enterprise password
  password: ANCHORE_ECS_INVENTORY_ANCHORE_PASSWORD
  
  # anchore enterprise account that the inventory will be sent
  account: $ANCHORE_ECS_INVENTORY_ANCHORE_ACCOUNT
  
  http:
    insecure: true
    timeout-seconds: 10

# the aws region
region: $ANCHORE_ECS_INVENTORY_REGION

# frequency of which to poll the region
polling-interval-seconds: 300

quiet: false

You can also override any configuration value with environment variables. They must be prefixed with ANCHORE_ECS_INVENTORY_ and be in all caps. For example, ANCHORE_ECS_INVENTORY_LOG_LEVEL=error would override the log.level configuration
