3. List output customization
Date: 2024-07-11
Status
Accepted
Context
This is an enhancement proposal to allow users to customize the output of
bomctl listthat listsSBOM Documents by specifying a search expression, filter, or template.
Decision
Update
bomctl listto accept an expression to customize the output table of SBOM documents.This would be similar in functionality to the
--formatoption used by variousdockercommands.Either the existing use of positional argument will be retained, or an additional flag (such as
--formator--query) will be added.The supported search/filter expression syntaxes will be:
The expression would then be parsed to construct a SQL query or call to the
entbackend toretrieve and display the desired table(s)/column(s).
A separate
bomctl querycommand will be used to query/filter nodes,bomctl listis reservedfor finding SBOM Documents.
@puerco recommended reading the store into CEL to simplify listing.
Consequences
This change would allow users greater control over inspecting the contents of their cached SBOMs.
