> [!NOTE]
>
> Steampipe Report Actions are only available on private runners.

## Background[​](#background "Direct link to Background")

The *Generate GCP Steampipe Report* Action performs [Steampipe checks](https://steampipe.io/docs/check/overview) on GCP resources and generates a report. The checks are performed using GCP benchmarks/controls for supported mods.

A full description of all supported mods is provided here:

* [GCP Compliance](https://hub.steampipe.io/mods/turbot/gcp_compliance/controls) - version 0.13
* [GCP Labels](https://hub.steampipe.io/mods/turbot/gcp_labels/controls) - version 0.6
* [GCP Thrifty](https://hub.steampipe.io/mods/turbot/gcp_thrifty/controls) - version 0.10

## Action Parameters[​](#action-parameters "Direct link to Action Parameters")

| Parameter | Description |
| - | - |
| Steampipe Mod | The steampipe mod to run. |
| Benchmark | The name of the selected mod benchmark (or control) to run. |
| File Identifier | The identifier of the report file to create. Leave empty to get the report as the step output. |
| Output Format | Representation of the output result. |
| Variables | Specify parameters for running the benchmark by adding a new variable with a name and value. |

### Using Variables[​](#using-variables "Direct link to Using Variables")

To understand how to add variables, consider the following example from the Steampipe CLI:

`steampipe check gcp_labels.benchmark.mandatory --var 'mandatory_tags=["Owner"]'`

From this example, you can see that the variable `mandatory_tags` has a value of `["Owner"]`. To add this variable in the form, enter `mandatory_tags` in the "Name" column and `["Owner"]` in the "Value" column.
