Snyk

Port's Snyk integration allows you to import organizations, targets, projects and issues from your Snyk account into Port, according to your mapping and definitions.

Common use cases

  • Map organizations, targets, projects and issues in your Snyk environment.
  • Watch for object changes (create/update/delete) in real-time, and automatically apply the changes to your entities in Port.
  • Create/delete Snyk objects using self-service actions.

Prerequisites

To install the integration, you need a Kubernetes cluster that the integration's container chart will be deployed to.

Please make sure that you have kubectl and helm installed on your machine, and that your kubectl CLI is connected to the Kubernetes cluster where you plan to install the integration.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble installing this integration, please refer to these troubleshooting steps.

Installation

Choose one of the following installation methods:

Using this installation option means that the integration will be hosted by Port, with a customizable resync interval to ingest data into Port.

Beta feature

The Hosted by Port option is currently in beta, and is still undergoing final testing before its official release.

Should you encounter any bugs or functionality issues, please let us know so we can rectify them as soon as possible.
Your help is greatly appreciated! ⭐

Live event support

Currently, live events are not supported for integrations hosted by Port.
Resyncs will be performed periodically every 1 hour by default (can be configured differently after installation), or manually triggered by you via Port's UI.

Therefore, real-time events (including GitOps) will not be ingested into Port immediately.
Support for live events is WIP and will be supported in the near future.

Installation

To install, follow the following steps:

  1. Go to the Data sources page of your portal.

  2. Click on the + Data source button in the top-right corner.

  3. Click on the relevant integration in the list.

  4. Under Select your installation method, choose Hosted by Port.

  5. Configure the integration settings and application settings as you wish (see below for details).

Application settings

Every integration hosted by Port has the following customizable application settings, which are configurable after installation:

  • Resync interval: The frequency at which Port will ingest data from the integration. There are various options available, ranging from every 1 hour to once a day.

  • Send raw data examples: A boolean toggle (enabled by default). If enabled, raw data examples will be sent from the integration to Port. These examples are used when testing your mapping configuration, they allow you to run your jq expressions against real data and see the results.

Integration settings

Every integration has its own tool-specific settings, under the Integration settings section.
Each of these settings has an ⓘ icon next to it, which you can hover over to see a description of the setting.

Port secrets

Some integration settings require sensitive pieces of data, such as tokens.
For these settings, Port secrets will be used, ensuring that your sensitive data is encrypted and secure.

When changing such a setting, you will be prompted to choose an existing secret or create a new one:



Port source IP addresses

When using this installation method, Port will make outbound calls to your 3rd-party applications from static IP addresses.
You may need to add these addresses to your allowlist, in order to allow Port to interact with the integrated service:

54.73.167.226  
63.33.143.237
54.76.185.219

Ingesting Snyk objects

The Snyk integration uses a YAML configuration to describe the process of loading data into the developer portal.

Here is an example snippet from the config which demonstrates the process for getting project data from Snyk:

createMissingRelatedEntities: true
deleteDependentEntities: true
resources:
- kind: project
selector:
query: "true"
port:
entity:
mappings:
identifier: .id
title: .attributes.name
blueprint: '"snykProject"'
properties:
url: ("https://app.snyk.io/org/" + .relationships.organization.data.id + "/project/" + .id | tostring)
owner: .__owner.email
businessCriticality: .attributes.business_criticality
environment: .attributes.environment
lifeCycle: .attributes.lifecycle
highOpenVulnerabilities: .meta.latest_issue_counts.high
mediumOpenVulnerabilities: .meta.latest_issue_counts.medium
lowOpenVulnerabilities: .meta.latest_issue_counts.low
criticalOpenVulnerabilities: .meta.latest_issue_counts.critical
importedBy: .__importer.email
tags: .attributes.tags

The integration makes use of the JQ JSON processor to select, modify, concatenate, transform and perform other operations on existing fields and values from Snyk's API events.

note

In a case where an api request to Snyk's api will receive error code SNYK-9999 which means that Snyk experienced an internal error, the resync will continue to export and log that error. This might result in some data missing from the portal. In such cases head to the Event Log inside the integration section and look for that error it will have all the information required to contact snyk to investigate that error

Configuration structure

The integration configuration determines which resources will be queried from Snyk, and which entities and properties will be created in Port.

Supported resources

The following resources can be used to map data from Snyk, it is possible to reference any field that appears in the API responses linked below for the mapping configuration.

  • The root key of the integration configuration is the resources key:

    resources:
    - kind: project
    selector:
    ...
  • The kind key is a specifier for a Snyk object:

      resources:
    - kind: project
    selector:
    ...
  • The selector and the query keys allow you to filter which objects of the specified kind will be ingested into your software catalog:

    resources:
    - kind: project
    selector:
    query: "true" # JQ boolean expression. If evaluated to false - this object will be skipped.
    port:
  • The port, entity and the mappings keys are used to map the Snyk object fields to Port entities. To create multiple mappings of the same kind, you can add another item in the resources array;

    resources:
    - kind: project
    selector:
    query: "true"
    port:
    entity:
    mappings: # Mappings between one Snyk object to a Port entity. Each value is a JQ query.
    identifier: .id
    title: .attributes.name
    blueprint: '"snykProject"'
    properties:
    url: ("https://app.snyk.io/org/" + .relationships.organization.data.id + "/project/" + .id | tostring)
    businessCriticality: .attributes.business_criticality
    environment: .attributes.environment
    lifeCycle: .attributes.lifecycle
    highOpenVulnerabilities: .meta.latest_issue_counts.high
    mediumOpenVulnerabilities: .meta.latest_issue_counts.medium
    lowOpenVulnerabilities: .meta.latest_issue_counts.low
    criticalOpenVulnerabilities: .meta.latest_issue_counts.critical
    tags: .attributes.tags
    targetOrigin: .origin
    relations:
    snyk_target: '.relationships.target.data.id'
    - kind: project # In this instance project is mapped again with a different filter
    selector:
    query: '.name == "MyProjectName"'
    port:
    entity:
    mappings: ...
    Blueprint key

    Note the value of the blueprint key - if you want to use a hardcoded string, you need to encapsulate it in 2 sets of quotes, for example use a pair of single-quotes (') and then another pair of double-quotes (")

Ingest data into Port

To ingest Snyk objects using the integration configuration, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the DevPortal Builder page.
  2. Select a blueprint you want to ingest using Snyk.
  3. Choose the Ingest Data option from the menu.
  4. Select Snyk under the Code quality & security providers category.
  5. Modify the configuration according to your needs.
  6. Click Resync.

Alternative installation via webhook

While the Ocean integration described above is the recommended installation method, you may prefer to use a webhook to ingest data from Snyk. If so, use the following instructions:

Webhook installation (click to expand)

In this example you are going to create a webhook integration between Snyk and Port, which will ingest Snyk code and infrastructure vulnerability entities into Port.

Port configuration

Create the following blueprint definition:

Snyk vulnerability blueprint

Remember to replace the WEBHOOK_SECRET with the real secret you specify when creating the webhook in Snyk.

Create a webhook in Snyk

  1. Go to Snyk and select an account you want to configure the webhook for;
  2. Click on Settings at the left of the page and copy your organization ID under the Organization ID section;
  3. Navigate to your Snyk accounts page and copy your API token. You will use this value to authorize the REST API;
  4. Open any REST API client such as POSTMAN and make the following API call to create your webhook:
    1. API URL - use https://api.snyk.io/v1/org/`YOUR_ORG_ID`/webhooks;
    2. Method - select POST
    3. Authorization - The API token should be supplied in an Authorization header as Authorization: token YOUR_API_KEY;
    4. Request Body - The body of your request should be in a JSON format. Past the following information in the body text
    {
    "url": "https://ingest.getport.io/<YOUR_PORT_WEBHOOK_KEY>",
    "secret": "WEBHOOK_SECRET"
    }
  5. Click Send to create your Snyk webhook;
note

You can also create the Snyk webhook using the curl command below:

curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url": "https://ingest.getport.io/<YOUR_PORT_WEBHOOK_KEY>", "secret": "WEBHOOK_SECRET"}' \
https://api.snyk.io/v1/org/<YOUR_ORG_ID>/webhooks

Done! Any vulnerability detected on your source code will trigger a webhook event to the webhook URL provided by Port. Port will parse the events according to the mapping and update the catalog entities accordingly.
