COS target template

A sample target configuration file for the snyk cos target add command.

Release status

The snyk cos command set is in Closed Beta and is available only for Enterprise plans. If you want to set it up in your Group or Organization, contact your Snyk account team.

Description

Use this sample template file with the snyk cos target add command.

The configuration file has three sections:

• target: the name of the application, its primary URL, and the hosts to include in or exclude from the scope.

• authentication: the login URL and one entry for each user role the scan should test.

• settings: the headers and cookies to inject into every request, and free-form guidance for the agent.

The configuration file can contain credentials and other secrets. Mark every secret value with sensitive: true and store the file securely.
