about_psrule_baseline SHORT DESCRIPTION Describes usage of baselines within PSRule. LONG DESCRIPTION PSRule lets you define a baseline. A baseline includes a set of rule and configuration options that are used for evaluating objects. The following baseline options can be configured: - Binding.Field - Binding.IgnoreCase - Binding.NameSeparator - Binding.PreferTargetInfo - Binding.TargetName - Binding.TargetType - Binding.UseQualifiedName - Configuration - Rule.Include - Rule.IncludeLocal - Rule.Exclude - Rule.Tag Baseline options can be: - Included as a baseline spec within a YAML or JSON file. - When using this method, multiple baseline specs can be defined within the same YAML/JSON file. - Each YAML baseline spec is separated using `---`. - Each JSON baseline spec is separated by JSON objects in a JSON array. - Set within a workspace options file like `ps-rule.yaml` or `ps-rule.json`. - Only a single baseline can be specified. - See about_PSRule_Options for details on using this method. BASELINE SPECS YAML baseline specs are saved within a YAML file with a `.Rule.yaml` or `.Rule.yml` extension, for example `Baseline.Rule.yaml`. JSON baseline specs are saved within a file with a `.Rule.json` or `.Rule.jsonc` extension, for example `Baseline.Rule.json`. Use `.jsonc` to view JSON with Comments in Visual Studio Code. To define a YAML baseline spec use the following structure: ```yaml SYNOPSIS: <SYNOPSIS> apiVersion: github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1 kind: Baseline metadata: name: <name> annotations: { } spec: # One or more baseline options binding: { } rule: { } configuration: { } For example: yaml SYNOPSIS: THIS IS AN EXAMPLE BASELINE apiVersion: github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1 kind: Baseline metadata: name: Baseline1 spec: binding: field: id: - ResourceId targetName: - Name - ResourceName - ResourceGroupName targetType: - ResourceType rule: include: - Rule1 - Rule2 configuration: allowedLocations: - 'Australia East' - 'Australia South East' --- SYNOPSIS: THIS IS AN EXAMPLE BASELINE apiVersion: github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1 kind: Baseline metadata: name: Baseline2 spec: binding: targetName: - Name - ResourceName - ResourceGroupName targetType: - ResourceType rule: include: - Rule1 - Rule3 configuration: allowedLocations: - 'Australia East' To define a JSON baseline spec use the following structure: json [ { // Synopsis: <synopsis> "apiVersion": "github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1", "kind": "Baseline", "metadata": { "name": "<name>", "annotations": {} }, "spec": { "binding": {}, "rule": {}, "configuration": {} } } ] For example: json [ { // Synopsis: This is an example baseline "apiVersion": "github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1", "kind": "Baseline", "metadata": { "name": "Baseline1" }, "spec": { "binding": { "field": { "id": [ "ResourceId" ] }, "targetName": [ "Name", "ResourceName", "ResourceGroupName" ], "targetType": [ "ResourceType" ] }, "rule": { "include": [ "Rule1", "Rule2" ] }, "configuration": { "allowedLocations": [ "Australia East", "Australia South East" ] } } }, { // Synopsis: This is an example baseline "apiVersion": "github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1", "kind": "Baseline", "metadata": { "name": "Baseline2" }, "spec": { "binding": { "targetName": [ "Name", "ResourceName", "ResourceGroupName" ], "targetType": [ "ResourceType" ] }, "rule": { "include": [ "Rule1", "Rule3" ] }, "configuration": { "allowedLocations": [ "Australia East" ] } } } ] ### Baseline scopes When baseline options are set, PSRule uses the following order to determine precedence. 1. Parameter - `-Name` and `-Tag`. 2. Explicit - A named baseline specified with `-Baseline`. 3. Workspace - Included in `ps-rule.yaml` or specified on the command line with `-Option`. 4. Module - A baseline object included in a `.Rule.yaml` or `.Rule.json` file. After precedence is determined, baselines are merged and null values are ignored, such that: ### Annotations Additional baseline annotations can be provided as key/ value pairs. Annotations can be used to provide additional information that is available in `Get-PSRuleBaseline` output. The following reserved annotation exists: - `obsolete` - Marks the baseline as obsolete when set to `true`. PSRule will generate a warning when an obsolete baseline is used.
