Syntax
An azure_network_watcher
resource block identifies a Network Watcher by name
and resource_group
, or the resource_id
.
describe azure_network_watcher(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_WATCHER_NAME') do
it { should exist }
end

it { should exist }
end

Examples
Test the location of a Network Watcher
describe azure_network_watcher(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_WATCHER_NAME') do
its('location') { should cmp 'eastus' }
end
Test the Flow Log status of a Network Security group
describe azure_network_watcher(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_WATCHER_NAME', nsg_resource_group: 'NSG_RESOURCE_GROUP', nsg_name: 'nsg_eastus') do
its('flow_logs.properties.enabled') { should be true }
its('flow_logs.properties.retentionPolicy.days') { should be >= 90 }
end
Loop through Network Security groups with the resource ID
azure_network_security_groups.where(location: 'eastus').ids.each do |nsg_id|
describe azure_network_watcher(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', name: 'NETWORK_WATCHER_NAME', nsg_resource_id: nsg_id) do
its('flow_logs.properties.enabled') { should be true }
its('flow_logs.properties.retentionPolicy.days') { should be >= 90 }
end
end
