Overview

Monkey365 has built-in support for exporting data to a large variety of formats, including CSV, CLIXML and JSON. For example, the CSV output format is a comma-separated output that can be imported into i.e., Excel spreadsheets. The JSON format is pretty similar to JavaScript object, so it can be used as a data format by any programming language. Finally, CLIXML will create an XML-based representation of all findings and will store it in a file. This section page documents how Monkey365's data may be exported to these formats.

• Export Data to CSV
• Export Data to HTML
• Export Data to CLIXML
• Export Data to JSON

Data Location

Depending on what format you are exporting to, the -ExportTo parameter presents slightly different options. When -OutDir is specified, Monkey365 writes the exported data to the provided path. When -OutDir is not specified, Monkey365 creates the output under the current working directory.

By default, exported data is stored using the following structure:

./monkey365-output/$GUID/$FORMAT/$FILE

For example, if Monkey365 is executed from /home/user/cloud_reports, the default output path will be:

/home/user/cloud_reports/monkey365-output/$GUID/$FORMAT/$FILE

The following demonstrates some examples in which the data may be programmatically accessed using various common languages.

Import JSON data in Python

The following code snippet illustrates how one may load the Monkey365 data in a Python script (assuming that report data was previously exported to JSON format):

import json

file = 'C:/temp/monkey365-output/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/json/monkey3650000000000000000000000000000000020240902155926.json'

with open(file) as f:

    json_data = json.load(f)

    return json_data

Import JSON data in PowerShell

The following code snippet illustrates how one may load the Monkey365 data in a PowerShell script (assuming that report data was previously exported to JSON format):

PS C:\temp> $json_data = (Get-Content -Raw .\monkey365-output\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\json\monkey3650000000000000000000000000000000020240902155926.json) | ConvertFrom-Json

Import CLIXML data in PowerShell

The following code snippet illustrates how one may load the Monkey365 data in a PowerShell script (assuming that report data was previously exported to CLIXML format):

PS C:\temp> $clixml_data = (Get-Content -Raw .\monkey365-output\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\clixml\monkey3650000000000000000000000000000000020240902155926.clixml)
