Add flag in lint command to ignore list of specific check type about kube-linter HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, that's a good idea. I want to make it so that everything in the config (not just exclude) can be passed as command-line flags. There's a nice library for this in Go: https://github.com/spf13/viper

I've created #78 to track that, so I'm closing this issue.

Thanks again for filing it, and for using KubeLinter!

I'd like to implement this feature if possible.

Hi @nirav24, thanks for filing the issue. We already have a couple of options that support this:

1. You can use the "exclude" key in the config to exclude this check: https://github.com/stackrox/kube-linter/blob/main/config.yaml.example#L22 (This sounds like what you need for your use-case.)
2. If you want to run the check generally, but just ignore it for a specific deployment, you can use https://github.com/stackrox/kube-linter/tree/main/docs#ignoring-violations-for-specific-cases.

Down the road, we do want to provide an option to take a kubeconfig and pull objects from the server, so we can use that context when linting.

Does this answer your question?

@viswajithiii thanks for the reply. The above will do for my usecase. However, do you think it would also be good idea to add flag? this will allow flexibility to utilize this function.
