kosli attest custom #

Synopsis #

Report a custom attestation to an artifact or a trail in a Kosli flow. The name of the custom attestation type is specified using the --type flag.

The attestation can be bound to a trail using the trail name.

If the attestation is for an artifact, the attestation can be bound to the artifact using one of two ways:

using the artifact's SHA256 fingerprint which is calculated (based on the --artifact-type flag and the artifact name/path argument) or can be provided directly (with the --fingerprint flag).
using the artifact's name in the flow yaml template and the git commit from which the artifact is/will be created. Useful when reporting an attestation before creating/reporting the artifact.You can optionally associate the attestation to a git commit using --commit (requires access to a git repo). And you
can optionally redact some of the git commit data sent to Kosli using --redact-commit-info. Note that when the attestation is reported for an artifact that does not yet exist in Kosli, --commit becomes required to facilitate binding the attestation to the right artifact.

Flags #

Flag	Description
--annotate stringToString	[optional] Annotate the attestation with data using key=value.
-t, --artifact-type string	The type of the artifact to calculate its SHA256 fingerprint. One of: [oci, docker, file, dir]. Only required if you want Kosli to calculate the fingerprint for you (i.e. when you don't specify '--fingerprint' on commands that allow it).
--attachments strings	[optional] The comma-separated list of paths of attachments for the reported attestation. Attachments can be files or directories. All attachments are compressed and uploaded to Kosli's evidence vault.
--attestation-data string	The filepath of a json file containing the custom attestation data.
-g, --commit string	[conditional] The git commit for which the attestation is associated to. Becomes required when reporting an attestation for an artifact before reporting it to Kosli. (defaulted in some CIs: https://docs.kosli.com/ci-defaults ).
--description string	[optional] attestation description
-D, --dry-run	[optional] Run in dry-run mode. When enabled, no data is sent to Kosli and the CLI exits with 0 exit code regardless of any errors.
-x, --exclude strings	[optional] The comma separated list of directories and files to exclude from fingerprinting. Can take glob patterns. Only applicable for --artifact-type dir.
--external-fingerprint stringToString	[optional] A SHA256 fingerprint of an external attachment represented by --external-url. The format is label=fingerprint (labels cannot contain '.' or '='). This flag can be set multiple times. There must be an external url with a matching label for each external fingerprint.
--external-url stringToString	[optional] Add labeled reference URL for an external resource. The format is label=url (labels cannot contain '.' or '='). This flag can be set multiple times. If the resource is a file or dir, you can optionally add its fingerprint via --external-fingerprint
-F, --fingerprint string	[conditional] The SHA256 fingerprint of the artifact to attach the attestation to. Only required if the attestation is for an artifact and --artifact-type and artifact name/path are not used.
-f, --flow string	The Kosli flow name.
-h, --help	help for custom
-n, --name string	The name of the attestation as declared in the flow or trail yaml template.
-o, --origin-url string	[optional] The url pointing to where the attestation came from or is related. (defaulted to the CI url in some CIs: https://docs.kosli.com/ci-defaults ).
--redact-commit-info strings	[optional] The list of commit info to be redacted before sending to Kosli. Allowed values are one or more of [author, message, branch].
--registry-password string	[conditional] The container registry password or access token. Only required if you want to read container image SHA256 digest from a remote container registry.
--registry-username string	[conditional] The container registry username. Only required if you want to read container image SHA256 digest from a remote container registry.
--repo-root string	[defaulted] The directory where the source git repository is available. Only used if --commit is used. (default ".")
-T, --trail string	The Kosli trail name.
--type string	The name of the custom attestation type.
-u, --user-data string	[optional] The path to a JSON file containing additional data you would like to attach to the attestation.
