Chef InSpec is a free and open-source framework for testing and auditing your applications and infrastructure. Chef InSpec works by comparing the actual state of your system with the desired state that you express in easy-to-read and easy-to-write Chef InSpec code. Chef InSpec detects violations and displays findings in the form of a report, but puts you in control of remediation.

• Need to have Chef Inspec on the host machine to run the test.
• The Chef InSpec package is available for MacOS, RedHat, Ubuntu and Windows.

curl https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -P inspec

• Run the inspec profile on any target machine.

stage ('Inspec')
  {
      sh """
        inspec exec Inspec/hardening-test -t ssh://${hostMachineName}@${hostMachineIP} --password=${hostMachinePassword} --reporter         json:./inspec_results 
      """
