GCP Project Scanning in Prowler

By default, Prowler operates in a multi-project mode, scanning all Google Cloud projects accessible to the authenticated user.

Specifying Projects

To limit the scan to specific projects, use the --project-ids argument followed by the desired project ID(s).

prowler gcp --project-ids project-id1 project-id2

Pattern-Based Project Selection

Use an asterisk * to scan projects that match a pattern. For example, prowler gcp --project-ids "prowler*" will scan all the projects that start with prowler.

Listing Accessible Projects

To view a list of projects the user has access to, run:

prowler gcp --list-project-ids

Excluding Projects in Prowler

Project Exclusion

To exclude specific Google Cloud projects from the scan, use the --excluded-project-ids argument followed by the project ID(s):

prowler gcp --excluded-project-ids project-id1 project-id2

Pattern-Based Project Exclusion

Use an asterisk * to exclude projects that match a pattern. For example, prowler gcp --excluded-project-ids "sys*" will exclude all the projects that start with sys.
