azure_locks resource

Use the azure_locks InSpec audit resource to test the properties and configuration of all Management Locks for an Azure resource or any level below it.

Azure REST API version, endpoint, and HTTP client parameters

This resource interacts with API versions supported by the resource provider. You can specify the api_version as a resource parameter to use a specific version of the Azure REST API. If you don’t specify an API version, this resource uses the latest version available. For more information about API versioning, see the azure_generic_resource.

By default, this resource uses the azure_cloud global endpoint and default HTTP client settings. You can override these settings if you need to connect to a different Azure environment (such as Azure Government or Azure China). For more information about configuration options, see the resource pack README.

Syntax

An azure_locks resource block returns all Management Locks within a resource group (if provided) or the entire subscription.

describe azure_locks do
  it { should exist }
end

Or

describe azure_locks(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP') do
  it { should exist }
end

Also, at resource level test can be done by providing the following identifiers: resource_group, resource_name, and resource_type or the resource_id.

describe azure_locks(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', resource_name: 'VM_NAME`, resource_type: 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines') do
  it { should exist }
end

Or

describe azure_locks(resource_id: '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/{vmName}') do
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

resource_group
Azure resource group where the targeted resource resides.
resource_name
Name of the Azure resource on which the Management Locks are being tested.
resource_type
Type of the Azure resource on which the Management Locks are being tested.
resource_id
The unique resource ID of the Azure resource on which the Management Locks are being tested.

Either one of the parameter sets can be provided for a valid query:

  • resource_id
  • resource_group, resource_name and resource_type
  • resource_group
  • None for a subscription level test.

Properties

ids
A list of the unique resource IDs of the Management Locks.

Field: id

names
A list of names of all the Management Locks being interrogated.

Field: name

properties
A list of properties for all the Management Locks being interrogated.

Field: properties

Note

For information on using filter criteria on plural resources, see the documentation on FilterTable

Examples

Check if a specific Management Lock is present for a resource:

describe azure_locks(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', resource_name: 'VM_NAME', resource_type: 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines') do
  its('names')  { should include 'production_agents' }
end

Filters the results to include only those Management Locks that have the specific name:

describe azure_locks.where{ name.include?('production') } do
  it { should exist }
end

Loop through all virtual machines to test if they have Management Locks defined:

azure_virtual_machines.ids.each do |id|
  describe azure_locks(resource_id: id) do
    it { should exist }
  end
end

Matchers

For a full list of available matchers, see our Universal Matchers page.

This resource has the following special matchers.

exists

The control will pass if the filter returns at least one result. Use should_not if you expect zero matches.

describe azure_locks(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', resource_name: 'VM_NAME', resource_type: 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines') do
  it { should exist }
end

Azure permissions

Your Service Principal must be set up with at least a contributor role on the subscription you wish to test.
