View IaC+ and cloud issues in the Snyk Web UI

You can view cloud and IaC+ issues for an Organization through the Snyk Web UI.

To view your cloud issues in the Snyk Web UI, navigate to the Organization, and on the menu, select Cloud.

By default, Snyk displays open issues across all cloud environments in an Organization. The issues are initially grouped by the security rule they failed, but you can choose to group them by resource.

Group issues by rule

Issues are grouped by rule by default.

If you have grouped them by resource instead, you can group them by rule again by selecting the Group by Resource drop-down menu next to the search bar and selecting Rule:

The rules are sorted by severity and then by number of issues, both from highest to lowest.

Rule details

Each rule shows the following information:

  • Severity

    • C: Critical

    • H: High

    • M: Medium

    • L: Low

  • Rule title

  • Rule ID

  • Number of open issues

By default, when you expand a rule by selecting its Expand row (>) symbol, you see all the resources with an open issue associated with that rule. Each resource shows the following information:

  • Resource name

  • Environment kind (provider)

  • Environment name

  • Environment native ID (Amazon Web Services account ID, Google project ID, Azure subscription, and so on)

  • Resource tags

  • Age of issue

Group issues by resource

If issues are currently grouped by rule, you can group them by resource instead by selecting the Group by Rule drop-down menu next to the search bar and selecting Resource:

The resources are sorted by severity of issue and then by number of issues, both from highest to lowest.

Resource details

Each resource shows the following information:

  • Resource name

  • Resource type

  • Environment kind

  • Environment name

  • Environment native ID

  • Resource tags

  • Severity of open issues

  • Number of issues for each severity

By default, when you expand a resource by selecting its Expand row (>) symbol, you see all the rules with an open issue associated with that resource.

Each rule shows the following information:

  • Severity

  • Rule title

  • Rule category

  • Rule ID

  • Age of issue

View issue details on issue summary panel

To view an issue, select the Expand row (>) symbol on the left side of a row, then select a corresponding resource or rule. Snyk displays a panel with the cloud issue details.

The cloud issue summary panel displays the Overview by default, which contains the following information:

  • Severity

  • Status (open or closed)

  • Resource details:

    • Native ID (Amazon Resource Name); AWS only

    • Name

    • Type

Select the Resource tab to view the scanned resource's attributes:

Filter issues

To filter which cloud issues are shown:

By default, the Status filter is set to include only open issues.

Search issues

As you select filters from the Filters drop-down menu, the search bar is populated with key-value pairs.

To search cloud issues by key-value pair:

  1. Select the search bar.

  2. Select a key from the drop-down list, or type in a key from the list of available filters.
