How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionPublish dated report page to ConfluenceConfluenceConfluence
  • OutputPost headline counts and link to SlackSlack

What it does

Pulls the past week of security-review exceptions from your Postgres audit table, summarizes them by team, repository, and who overrode the gate, and publishes a formatted report to a Confluence space. It also drops the top-line numbers into Slack so leadership sees the trend without opening the wiki.

When to use it

Use it when you already log security-review exceptions (see the companion exception-log template) and need a recurring, shareable rollup for security governance or compliance meetings instead of ad hoc queries.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule triggers the report run.
  2. 2The flow queries the Postgres `security_review_exceptions` table for the last seven days.
  3. 3A transform groups and counts exceptions by team, repo, and override actor, and flags repeat offenders.
  4. 4It publishes or updates a dated report page in Confluence with the tables and a short narrative.
  5. 5It posts the headline counts and a link to the page in the security Slack channel.
