✨ OSCAP-REPORT — the OpenSCAP Report Generator, bestie edition ✨

okay so picture this: you ran a SCAP-compatible utility scan (iconic of you), and now you've got yourself an ARF file — or an XCCDF Result file — and you want a cute little HTML report out of it. That's literally what oscap-report does. It's the OSCAP-REPORT(1) manual, and we're gonna read it together. 🫶

And here's the tea: unless you pass the --output option, the report just goes straight to the standard output. No file, no drama. 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS

usage: oscap-report [--version] [-h] [-o OUTPUT] [--log-file LOG_FILE]
                    [--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}]
                    [-f {HTML,JSON,JSON-EVERYTHING}]
                    [-d {NO-MINIFY,ONLINE-CSS,BUTTON-SHOW-ALL-RULES,BUTTON-SHOW-ALL-RULES-AND-OVAL-TEST-DETAILS} [{NO-MINIFY,ONLINE-CSS,BUTTON-SHOW-ALL-RULES,BUTTON-SHOW-ALL-RULES-AND-OVAL-TEST-DETAILS} ...]]
                    [FILE]

👑 NAMED ARGUMENTS

  • INFO — A confirmation that things are working as expected. lil happy check-in. 😌
  • WARNING — An indication that something unexpected happened, or a signal of a possible problem in the future. The software is still working as expected. lowkey a red flag but we move. 🙈
  • ERROR — Due to a more serious problems, the software has not been able to perform its function to the full extent. not slay. 😭
  • CRITICAL — A serious error, indicating that the program itself may be unable to continue operating. it's so over. 🚨
