Snyk Tags Tool

Snyk Tags is a CLI tool which can:

• Help filter Snyk projects by product type by adding product tags across a Snyk Group or Organization - using snyk-tags tag
• Help filter Snyk projects by applying tags to all projects containing a specific name snyk-tags tag alltargets --contains-name=
• Help filter Snyk projects by applying tags to a target import (for example a git repo like snyk-labs/nodejs-goof) - using snyk-tags target tag or from a csv/json file with snyk-tags fromfile target-tag
• Help filter Snyk projects by applying attributes to a target import (for example a git repo like snyk-labs/nodejs-goof) - using snyk-tags target attributes or from a csv/json file with snyk-tags fromfile target-attributes
• Help filter Snyk projects by adding the GitHub CODEOWNERS (only GitHub handles) as tags to the target import (must be a GitHub repo in the form snyk-labs/nodejs-goof) - using snyk-tags target github owners
• Help with tag management by removing tags from a Group or a target import (for example a git repo like snyk-labs/nodejs-goof) - using snyk-tags target remove or listing all tags using snyk-tags list tags (also in bulk or from a csv/json file with snyk-tags fromfile)
• Associate Snyk Open Source, Code and Container projects with software component tags, using snyk-tags component tag.

snyk-tags tag

snyk-tags tag is a CLI tool that uses the Snyk Project Tag API to assign tags in bulk to Snyk projects based on the product.

snyk-tags target

snyk-tags target goes through a target (repo, container, CLI import) to assign tags, attributes and assign GitHub metadata. Targets in snyk can be varied like:

• snyk-labs/nodejs-goof is the target from a git import
• library/httpd is the target from a container import
• /snyk-labs/nodejs-goof is the target from a CLI import

You can use:

• snyk-tags target tag to add tags to a target
• snyk-tags target attributes to add attributes to a target
• snyk-tags target github for specific GitHub metadata. The GitHub repo must include the GitHub Organization e.g. snyk-labs/nodejs-goof

List all possible attributes

snyk-tags target github

To import GitHub metadata such as CODEOWNERS or Topics, you can use this command.

Requirements:

• GitHub PAT with read:org permissions

Usage:

• snyk-tags target github owners to add the CODEOWNERS file information as tags (limited to GitHub handles for now)
• snyk-tags target github topics to add the GitHub Topics as tags

Viewing results

Once you run snyk-tags, go into the UI, naviagate to the projects page and find the tags filter or attribute filter options on the left-hand menu. Select the tag/attribute you have applied and you will see all projects associated.

snyk-tags component tag

You can then pass this token as part of the command through --snyktkn=abc or as an environment variable SNYK_TOKEN

Applying tags by Snyk product

I want to filter all my Snyk Code projects to the whole Snyk Group:

snyk-tags tag sast --group-id=abc --snyktkn=abc

I want to filter all my npm Snyk Open Source projects within a specific Snyk Organization:

snyk-tags tag sca --scatype=npm --org-id=abc --snyktkn=abc

Applying tags based on project name

I want to filter all my Snyk projects sharing a common project name substring

snyk-tags tag alltargets --contains-name=microservice --group-id=abc --org-id=abc --snyktkn=abc --tagkey=app --tagvalue=microservice

Managing tags based on target SCM repository

I want to filter all projects within my snyk-labs/nodejs-goof repo by project:snyk

snyk-tags target tag --target=snyk-labs/nodejs-goof --org-id=abc --snyktkn=abc --tagkey=project --tagvalue=snyk

I want to add attributes to all projects within my snyk-labs/python-goof repo. The attributes are critical, production, backend

snyk-tags target attributes  --target=snyk-labs/python-goof --org-id=abc --snytkn=abc --criticality=critical --environment=backend --lifecycle=production

I want mark with the repo owners all projects of the repo snyk-labs/nodejs-goof so I can filter by owner e.g.Owner:EricFernandezSnyk

snyk-tags target github owners --target=snyk-labs/nodejs-goof --org-id=abc --snyktkn=abc --githubtkn=abc

I want add my GitHub Topics to all projects of the repo snyk-labs/nodejs-goof so I can filter by topics e.g.GitHubTopic:python3

snyk-tags target github topics --target=snyk-labs/nodejs-goof --org-id=abc --snyktkn=abc --githubtkn=abc

I want to remove the tag project:snyk from the repo snyk-labs/nodejs-goof

snyk-tags remove tag-from-target --target=snyk-labs/nodejs-goof --group-id=abc --snyktkn=abc --tagkey=project --tagkey=snyk

I want to remove the tag app:microservice from all targets within a specific Snyk Organization

snyk-tags remove tag-from-alltargets --contains-name=apps-demo --org-id=abc --tagkey=app --tagvalue=microservice

I want to filter all projects within snyk-labs/nodejs-goof and snyk-labs/goof repo by project:snyk so I use a csv in the format org-id,target,key,value

snyk-tags fromfile target-tag --file=path/to/file.csv --snyktkn
