Syntax

An azurerm_security_center_policies resource block uses an optional filter to select a group of Security Center Policies and confirm that the expected groups exist.

describe azurerm_security_center_policies do
  ...
end

Examples

Check for a Security Center Policy

describe azurerm_security_center_policies do
  its('names') { should include 'default' }
end

Assert default Security Center Policy exists

describe azurerm_security_center_policies.where(name: 'default')
  it { should exist }
end

Filter Criteria

  • names

names

Filters the results to include only those Security Center Policies that match the given name. This is a string value.

# default should always exist
describe azurerm_security_center_policies.where(name: 'default')
  it { should exist }
end

Matchers

This resource has the following special matchers.

exists

The control will pass if the filter returns at least one result. Use should_not if you expect zero matches.

  it { should exist }
end

# this security center policy should not exist
