Scan schedule and Rescanning manual Scans

[kfoxton]

Is there a way to define the schedule for rescanning? We are looking to have the system scan weekly, on the weekend, vs. everyday. Is there also a way to edit what time of day the scan runs from the webui?

Thanks,

Hi @kfoxton 🖖 Currently custom scheduling is not directly supported in the Prowler App but you can leverage our API for it.

You can create a Prowler API key and then schedule a cron job with the custom schedule that you like with the following command:

curl --location 'https://api.prowler.com/api/v1/scans' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json' \
--header 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json' \
--header 'Authorization: Api-Key <api_key>' \
--data '{
  "data": {
    "type": "scans",
    "attributes": {
      "name": "weekly scan"
    },
    "relationships": {
      "provider": {
        "data": {
          "id": "<provider_id>",
          "type": "providers"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}'

You can retrieve the provider ID using the following endpoint: https://api.prowler.com/api/v1/docs#tag/Provider/operation/providers_list

In the documentation you have accurate samples for each endpoint payload and expected response.
