Upload findings from CI/CD pipelines

Upload findings via the API from CI/CD pipelines to automate ingestion at the CI stage.

Note

Store all collector credentials (Token ID, API Token, API URL) as encrypted secrets or credentials in the CI/CD platform. Do not hardcode credentials in pipeline configuration files.

The following examples demonstrate common integration patterns.

Important

Verify that the upload request returns a 2xx HTTP status code. A non-2xx response indicates that the upload failed and findings were not ingested. Configure the CI/CD pipeline step to fail on non-2xx responses to prevent silent ingestion failures. In the cURL examples, add the --fail flag or check the exit code to detect upload failures.
