Outputs

What they are

Outputs are the files an app produces during a session. When the session finishes, every output is available on the Files tab of the session detail, organized into folders. You can read, download, save, pin, or ask questions about any of them.

Apps differ in what they produce, but most produce a mix of three things:

  • A report — human-readable, designed for you to read.
  • One or more data files — structured machine-readable results.
  • Optional dashboards — interactive views built from the data.

Where to find them

Open a finished session from run history and click the Files tab. Outputs are grouped by folder and you can expand each folder to see its files.

Reports

A report is the human-friendly summary of what the app found. Reports are usually:

  • A markdown document you can read in the browser, or
  • A PDF you can download and share.

The Summary tab on the session detail page surfaces the key findings from the report — severity counts, top issues, and a short narrative — so you usually don't need to open the report file unless you want the full version.

Data files

A data file is a structured result the app produced — usually JSON or CSV. Examples:

  • The full list of resources an app scanned, with their properties.
  • The raw findings before they were summarized into the report.
  • A configuration snapshot used by the app.

Data files are useful when you want to pull results into a spreadsheet, feed them into another tool, or ask the AI a precise question about them in a thread.

Dashboards

Some apps produce dashboards — interactive views with charts, tables, and filters built from the run's data. These render directly in the browser on the session detail page. They're distinct from the Dashboards tab in the sidebar area, which is a separate feature for pinning outputs across sessions.

Raw files

Anything else the app drops into its output folder — logs, intermediate files, screenshots, configs — shows up under the Files tab too. You can download them individually if you need them.

What you can do with an output

  • Open it in the browser (for reports and dashboards) or download it (for any file).
  • Save it to an artifact folder so you can find it again later — see save an artifact.
  • Pin it to the Dashboards tab for quick access.
  • Ask questions about it in a thread — see ask about a session.
  • Delete it if you don't need it.
  • Download everything as a zip from the Files tab.

Common questions

"Where do my reports go?" — They live with the session under the Files tab of run history. The most important findings are summarized on the Summary tab.

"Can I keep an output around after the session is old?" — Yes — save it to an artifact folder. Artifacts persist independently and are easy to find.

"How do I get an output into a spreadsheet?" — Open the session, find the data file (usually CSV or JSON) on the Files tab, and download it.

"What's the difference between a report and a dashboard?" — A report is a written summary; a dashboard is an interactive view with charts and tables.

"Are these the same as artifacts?" — No. Outputs are produced by a session and live with it. Artifacts are outputs you've explicitly saved into a folder. Every artifact starts as an output; not every output becomes an artifact.
