Templates

Gremlin allows you to create Templates so that you can easily rerun attacks while avoiding typos or having to memorize the value for each parameter. Templates also enhance your ability to collaborate with peers, allowing others to run attacks based on templates, rather than having to explicitly share every single parameter in order to rerun the same attack that was previously run.

Types of Templates

A Gremlin attack consists of targets, a Gremlin, and an execution template.

The target template is used to select hosts or containers to attack.

The Gremlin template is used to define the specific impact type, across the three categories of attacks, and their parameters.

The execution template is used to set the number of times to execute the attack, within a specific time frame on specific days.

• Complete the template section (Target, Gremlin, Execution), using valid inputs.
