Hi @Prabhanjali if you are cloning Prowler from Github using Windows you have to use the git config core.longpaths true, please refer to our documentation here for more information.

Thanks for using Prowler 🚀

Hi @jfagoagas, I have cloned the repo and then used git config core.longpaths true in my terminal. Do I need to set up anything else?

Nothing more than that, this will allow you to clone file paths exceeding the default Windows size.

[Prabhanjali]

But I'm still running into this issue

[jfagoagas]

@Prabhanjali Did you configure that and then cloned the repo? So:

1. Run git config core.longpaths true
2. Then, git clone https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler.git

[Prabhanjali]

Yeah... this worked fine.... but now I'm running into different issues when I run prowler dashboard

ERROR: File "", line 322, in decode UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 5171: invalid start byte

Can you please help me how to resolve this error?

[Prabhanjali]

Also, I observed that prowler aws this command is taking so much time to check all the resources in the account we provided. Is there any other way that makes the sync faster?

I saw that you opened a new issue related to the above so let's continue there. Thanks.

The amount of time spent by Prowler while scanning a provider depends on your cloud environment. You can speed up the execution just scanning a subset of checks --checks or services --services. You can also scan just the regions where you have resources with the --regions argument.

How can we restrict the compliance standards we are using? Like I need to run prowler with some cis_3.0_aws, soc2_aws, nist_csf_1.1_aws compliance standards and with some regions enabled and also for some set of services.

Can you provide command for this requirement?

Please refer to the Prowler documentation here to know more about how to run compliance frameworks. You can found more information for regions and services.

[Prabhanjali]

How can I give --compliance for 3 different categories(cis_3.0_aws, soc2_aws, nist_csf_1.1_aws)?

[jfagoagas]

Hi @Prabhanjali you can use --compliance cis_3.0_aws soc2_aws nist_csf_1.1_aws.
