To install and get up and running quickly, read Get Started with cnquery.

cnquery is Mondoo's open source, cloud-native tool that lets you query and inventory your entire infrastructure. It integrates with over 850 resources to provide quick insight into your operations and development platforms.

Use cnquery to:

  • Aggregate all packages installed across containers, regardless of the OS
  • Find cloud instances exposed to the internet
  • Reveal old certificates on Kubernetes clusters
  • Query VMware, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, and more from a single tool

cnquery uses MQL, a query language that combines a graph database approach with powerful filters. Describe what you want and get only the results you need. To explore MQL's capabilities, browse the MQL docs.
