Debugging in Prowler

Debugging in Prowler simplifies the development process, allowing developers to efficiently inspect and resolve unexpected issues during execution.

Debugging with Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code (also referred to as VSCode) provides an integrated debugger for executing and analyzing Prowler code. Refer to the official VSCode debugger documentation for detailed instructions.

Debugging Configuration Example

The following file is an example of a debugging configuration file for Virtual Studio Code. This file must be placed inside the .vscode directory and named launch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Debug AWS Check",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "prowler-cli.py",
            "args": [
                "aws",
                "--log-level",
                "ERROR",
                "-c",
                "<check_name>"
            ],
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
        },
        {
            "name": "Debug Azure Check",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "prowler-cli.py",
            "args": [
                "azure",
                "--sp-env-auth",
                "--log-level",
                "ERROR",
                "-c",
                "<check_name>"
            ],
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
        },
        {
            "name": "Debug GCP Check",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "prowler-cli.py",
            "args": [
                "gcp",
                "--log-level",
                "ERROR",
                "-c",
                "<check_name>"
            ],
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
        },
        {
            "name": "Debug K8s Check",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "prowler-cli.py",
            "args": [
                "kubernetes",
                "--log-level",
                "ERROR",
                "-c",
                "<check_name>"
            ],
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
        }
    ]
}
