๐Ÿงน IMPROVEMENTSโ€‹

End of life status is now a risk factorโ€‹

Better understand when assets are approaching end of life with a new, configurable end-of-life risk factor. This risk factor replaces the existing end-of-life policy and instead uses a configurable warning period and risk factors to expose high-risk EOL assets.

Set your desired warning period or turn off warnings entirely space wide:

Tuning EOL warnings

Filter on EOL assets within affected asset pages:

EOL assets

New Shodan and VMware inventory packsโ€‹

Gather detailed information on more aspects of your infrastructure with new VMware and Shodan asset inventory packs. The VMware asset inventory pack gathers information on vCenter servers as well as individual ESXi hosts, so you can better understand the state of your clusters. The Shodan asset inventory pack gathers information on hosts assets using the Shodan service.

Control cnspec output using an ENV variableโ€‹

Control the command line output of cnspec using a new MONDOO_OUTPUT environmental variable that can be set in shell config files or in CI/CD jobs.

export MONDOO_OUTPUT=nodata,nocontrols
cnspec scan local
