Getting Started

Kubescape extension for Lens will help you to easily scan and detect misconfigurations, software vulnerabilities, and RBAC (role-based-access-control) violations in your K8S cluster.

Cluster-level information

• Navigate to Kubescape from the side menu.
• A Kubescape scan runs automatically on your cluster for the first time. You can also run a scan on-demand by clicking the Scan button.
• The table reflects a cluster-level summary of kubescape scan results.

• To find out more information on a specific Kubescape control and its failed resources, click on it to open the side bar for a detailed view:

Object-level information

• Kubescape information is also available at the object level. Click on the desired resource to open the details side bar and scroll down for Kubescape section:

This view shows only failed controls. If you don't see any that's a good thing :)

Development mode

You must have a working Node.js environment.

1. Clone the repository and then link to it:

git clone https://github.com/kubescape/lens-extension.git 
mkdir -p ~/.k8slens/extensions
ln -s $(pwd)/lens-extension ~/.k8slens/extensions/kubescape

2. Install dependencies and build the extension by running make or npm commands:
