Delivery Destinations

Ion Channel allows you to have analyzed files and reports delivered to an S3 bucket of your choice. Grafeas delivery destinations are available for users with an on-premise installation.

When a delivery destination is configured for a Git or Artifact project, all analyses performed by Ion Channel will result in the scanned files,  analysis reports, and any external scan data being delivered if the analysis passes. If an analysis fails, only the reports will be delivered.

Currently, the delivery of scanned files is not supported for S3 and SVN project types. Analysis reports will still be delivered, however.

Your current and formerly configured delivery destinations may be viewed by selecting the Destinations link from the hamburger menuin the top right corner. You will find the name, destination type (S3 or Grafeas), destination location, and the S3 region (if applicable) on this page.

Adding and Archiving Delivery Destinations

The methods available to create a delivery destination depend on the type of destination. S3 delivery destinations can be created via the Delivery Destinations page by clicking the plus icon in the upper-right corner. Creating Grafeas delivery destinations in the UI is not yet supported.

Both Grafeas and S3 delivery destinations can be created via the Ion Connect CLI using the instructions below.

All delivery destination types can be archived in the UI by selecting the trashcan icon located to the delivery destination's right.
