When to Use

Use this skill when updating the Prowler at a Glance table in the root README.md. This table tracks the number of checks, services, compliance frameworks, and categories for each supported provider.

Procedure

Step 1: Collect Stats via CLI

Run the following command for each provider and each metric:

python3 prowler-cli.py <provider> --list-<metric>

Providers: aws, azure, gcp, kubernetes, github, m365, oraclecloud, alibabacloud, cloudflare, mongodbatlas, openstack, nhn

Metrics: checks, services, compliance, categories

The CLI output ends with a summary line like:

There are 572 available checks.
There is 1 available Compliance Framework.

Extract the number from the summary line. Note that singular results use "There is" instead of "There are".

Step 2: Batch Extraction

Use this one-liner to collect all stats at once (handles both singular and plural output):

for provider in aws azure gcp kubernetes github m365 oraclecloud alibabacloud cloudflare mongodbatlas openstack nhn; do
  for metric in checks services compliance categories; do
    result=$(python3 prowler-cli.py $provider --list-$metric 2>&1 | sed -n 's/.*There \(are\|is\) .*\x1b\[33m\([0-9]*\)\x1b\[0m.*/\2/p')
    echo "$provider $metric: $result"
  done
done

Step 3: Update the Table

Edit the table in README.md (located in the # Prowler at a Glance section) with the collected numbers.

Table format:

| Provider | Checks | Services | [Compliance Frameworks](...) | [Categories](...) | Support | Interface |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS | 572 | 83 | 41 | 17 | Official | UI, API, CLI |

Provider Name Mapping

Special Rows (No CLI stats)

These providers delegate to external tools and do NOT use CLI stats:

Support and Interface Columns

• Support: Official for all providers except NHN which is Unofficial
• Interface: Most providers use UI, API, CLI. Exceptions with CLI only: Cloudflare, OpenStack, NHN, LLM

Rules

• ALWAYS use the CLI (python3 prowler-cli.py) to obtain numbers. Do NOT count files manually.
• NEVER commit changes unless explicitly asked.
• NEVER modify the IaC or LLM rows (they link to external docs).
• Verify the CLI is working by running one provider first before batch-processing all.

Resources

• CLI entry point: prowler-cli.py in the repository root
• Table location: README.md, section # Prowler at a Glance (around line 100)
