How to view cloud issues in the Snyk Web UI

You can view cloud 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.

Select Cloud to view the issues

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.
