How to set report plugins in the CLI

When auditing a device, you can specify which report types to generate. To view a full list of available reports, run the following command:

nipper --help=report

To enable or disable all report types at once, use one of the following commands:

nipper --all-reports=<on/off>

Or:

nipper --all-reports

You can enable or disable specific reports using their corresponding command-line options. These can be found in the output of --help report. For example, to control the Security Audit report:

nipper --security=<on/off>

Or:

nipper --security

If =on is omitted, it is implied. You only need to specify =off to disable a report.

Nipper uses sticky report settings - meaning if you do not specify any report options, it will use the same report configuration as your last run. These settings persist across both the CLI and GUI.

At least one report type must be specified (either explicitly or via sticky settings). If no reports are selected, Nipper will not generate a report.

Important: Report-specific options like --security must be used as part of a full Nipper command that includes a device input (e.g. a file path or URL). Running nipper --security on its own will not trigger a report or perform an audit.
