About vpc-network-config-analyzer

This repo contains packages and a CLI for analyzing the network connectivity of a VPC, as specified by various VPC resources. The full list of supported resources is available here.

Usage

Run the vpcanalyzer CLI tool with one of the following commands.

• vpcanalyzer report - provides a detailed report/diagram of VPC connectivity, as implied by the given VPC configuration. Details.
• vpcanalyzer diff - lists changes in connectivity (modified, added and removed connections) between two VPC configurations. Details.
• vpcanalyzer explain - explains how the given VPC configuration affects connectivity between two endpoints. Details.
• vpcanalyzer lint - provides a detailed report of potential issues in the given VPC configuration. Details.

Global options

  -c, --config stringArray      file paths to input VPC configs, can pass multiple config files
      --dump-resources string   file path to store resources collected from the cloud provider
  -f, --filename string         file path to store results
  -h, --help                    help for vpcanalyzer
  -o, --output string           output format; must be one of [json, txt, md, drawio, arch_drawio, svg, arch_svg, html, arch_html]
  -p, --provider string         collect resources from an account in this cloud provider
  -q, --quiet                   runs quietly, reports only severe errors and results
  -r, --region stringArray      cloud region from which to collect resources, can pass multiple regions
      --resource-group string   resource group id or name from which to collect resources
  -v, --verbose                 runs with more informative messages printed to log
      --version                 version for vpcanalyzer
      --vpc string              CRN of the VPC to analyze

Providing VPC configuration

A VPC configuration must be provided, in one of two ways. Either the --provider flag is used, in which case the VPC configuration will be extracted directly from a given account, or a configuration object is provided by the user using the --config option. A configuration object can be independently produced by the cloud-resource-collector.

Output formats

Output format is set using the --output flag. The following formats are available for the vpcanalyzer report command. Other commands may not support all formats.

• txt - a human readable text output
• json - a machine readable JSON output
• md - markdown format
• drawio - a drawio diagram showing VPC elements and their connectivity
• arch_drawio - a drawio diagram showing VPC elements without their connectivity
• svg - an SVG diagram showing VPC elements and their connectivity
• arch_svg - an SVG diagram showing VPC elements without their connectivity
• html - an interactive html page showing a diagram of the VPC elements and their connectivity. Double clicking en element filters out unconnected elements. Clicking a source elements, then a destination element, will show detailed information about their connectivity at the bottom of the page.
• arch_html - an html page showing only the VPC elements

Output can be saved to a file using the --filename flag.

Example html output is available here and here (should be downloaded to view in browser).
Example screenshot of html output file is available here.
