Use ListFindings with an AWS SDK or CLI

To list findings

The following list-findings command lists all of the generated findings:

aws inspector list-findings

Output:

{
        "findingArns": [
        "arn:aws:inspector:us-west-2:123456789012:target/0-0kFIPusq/template/0-4r1V2mAw/run/0-MKkpXXPE/finding/0-HwPnsDm4",
        "arn:aws:inspector:us-west-2:123456789012:target/0-0kFIPusq/template/0-4r1V2mAw/run/0-v5D6fI3v/finding/0-tyvmqBLy"
      ]
}
