Viewing Amazon Inspector findings

You can view findings in the Amazon Inspector console and with the Amazon Inspector ListFindings API. In the Amazon Inspector console, you can view all of your findings in the Dashboard and Findings screens. By default, these screens only show your active and critical findings. However, you can filter through findings or choose to view findings by category. You can also view some findings in Security Hub CSPM and Amazon ECR if you activate these integrations. The procedures in this section describe how to view findings in Amazon Inspector console and with the Amazon Inspector ListFindings API.

Note

Findings from on-demand machine image scans are an exception. Amazon Inspector delivers them only through Amazon EventBridge, so they don't appear in the Amazon Inspector console, aren't returned by ListFindings, and aren't sent to Security Hub CSPM. For more information, see Running on-demand machine image scans with Amazon Inspector.
