,--skip
affect the test.$ observatory --nagios 2 --min-score 85 -z --skip cookies CRITICAL ["content-security-policy",...,"x-xss-protection"]
Any negative scores fail the test, unless
--min-score
or--min-grade
is specified.# '2' maps to nagios 'critical.' Exits '2' $ observatory ssllabs.com --nagios 2 CRITICAL ["redirection"]
We can
--skip
the failing rule, and affect the score.$ observatory ssllabs.com --nagios 2 --skip redirection observatory [INFO] modfiying score, because of --skip. was: 100, now: 105 OK

Dockerized observatory-cli
Use the provided Dockerfile, to build and execute observatory
in Docker container. Useful for Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines capable of running containers but that otherwise don't need a lot of extra software.
To get started,
Build the container. Tag it as
mozilla/observatory-cli
docker build -t mozilla/observatory-cli .
Add a section like this to your
profile
(varies depending on your operating system and shell.bash
shown).## $HOME/.bashrc if [[ -d $HOME/.bash_functions ]]; then for file in $HOME/.bash_functions/*; do . $file done fi
Create the directory referenced in point 2 and copy the files in
shell_functions
(notbash_completion
) into that directory:$ mkdir $HOME/.bash_functions $ find shell_functions -maxdepth 1 -type f -executable | while read file; do cp $file $HOME/.bash_functions; done
Optional: Add Bash completion to your shell. (varies depending on your host operating system)
## On Red Hat based distributions: sudo cp shell_functions/bash_completion/observatory.bash /etc/bash_completion.d/
Start a new shell and execute
observatory
. Now it's in a Docker container. Bash completion is available if you've added it.
