AWS inspector: Note on on-demand machine image scan finding delivery

Service: inspector · 2026-10-29 · Documentation low

File: inspector/latest/user/findings-understanding-locating-analyzing.md · Type: logging

Summary

Adds a note that on-demand machine image scan findings are delivered only via EventBridge and are absent from the console, ListFindings, and Security Hub CSPM.

Security assessment

Documents a visibility gap in finding delivery (console/ListFindings/Security Hub), which is relevant to detection and monitoring coverage, but it describes expected behavior rather than fixing a vulnerability.

Evidence

+Findings from on-demand machine image scans are an exception. Amazon Inspector delivers them only through Amazon EventBridge, so they don't appear in the Amazon Inspector console, aren't returned by `ListFindings`, and aren't sent to Security Hub CSPM. For more information, see [Running on-demand machine image scans with Amazon Inspector](./machine-image-on-demand.html).
