--- type: reference, howto stage: Secure group: Composition Analysis info: To determine the technical writer assigned to the Stage/Group associated with this page, see https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/ux/technical-writing/#assignments --- # Dependency Scanning **(ULTIMATE)** > [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/5105) in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 10.7. The Dependency Scanning feature can automatically find security vulnerabilities in your dependencies while you're developing and testing your applications. For example, dependency scanning lets you know if your application uses an external (open source) library that is known to be vulnerable. You can then take action to protect your application. ## Overview If you're using [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md), you can use dependency scanning to analyze your dependencies for known vulnerabilities. GitLab scans all dependencies, including transitive dependencies (also known as nested dependencies). You can take advantage of dependency scanning by either: - [Including the dependency scanning template](#configuration) in your existing `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. - Implicitly using the [auto dependency scanning](../../../topics/autodevops/stages.md#auto-dependency-scanning) provided by [Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md). GitLab checks the dependency scanning report, compares the found vulnerabilities between the source and target branches, and shows the information on the merge request. ![Dependency scanning Widget](img/dependency_scanning_v13_2.png) The results are sorted by the severity of the vulnerability: 1. Critical 1. High 1. Medium 1. Low 1. Unknown 1. Everything else ## Requirements To run dependency scanning jobs, by default, you need GitLab Runner with the [`docker`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html) or [`kubernetes`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/kubernetes.html) executor. If you're using the shared runners on GitLab.com, this is enabled by default. WARNING: If you use your own runners, make sure your installed version of Docker is **not** `19.03.0`. See [troubleshooting information](#error-response-from-daemon-error-processing-tar-file-docker-tar-relocation-error) for details. ## Supported languages and package managers GitLab relies on [`rules`](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#rules) to start relevant analyzers depending on the languages detected in the repository. The current detection logic limits the maximum search depth to two levels. For example, the `gemnasium-dependency_scanning` job is enabled if a repository contains either a `Gemfile` or `api/Gemfile` file, but not if the only supported dependency file is `api/client/Gemfile`. The following languages and dependency managers are supported: | Package Managers | Languages | Supported files | Scan tools | | ------------------- | --------- | --------------- | ------------ | | [Bundler](https://bundler.io/) | Ruby | `Gemfile.lock`, `gems.locked` | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium), [bundler-audit](https://github.com/rubysec/bundler-audit) | | [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) | PHP | `composer.lock` | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium) | | [Conan](https://conan.io/) | C, C++ | [`conan.lock`](https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/versioning/lockfiles.html) | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium) | | [Golang](https://golang.org/) | Go | `go.sum` | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium) | | [Gradle](https://gradle.org/), [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) | Java | `build.gradle`, `build.gradle.kts`, `pom.xml` | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium) | | [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/), [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/) 1.x | JavaScript | `package-lock.json`, `npm-shrinkwrap.json`, `yarn.lock` | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium) | | [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) (7 and earlier), [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/) 1.x | JavaScript | `package.json` | [Retire.js](https://retirejs.github.io/retire.js/) | | [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/) 4.9+ | .NET, C# | [`packages.lock.json`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/consume-packages/package-references-in-project-files#enabling-lock-file) | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium) | | [`setuptools`](https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/), [Pipenv](https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/) (*1*) | Python | `setup.py`, `requirements.txt`, `requirements.pip`, `requires.txt`, `Pipfile`, `Pipfile.lock` | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium) | | [sbt](https://www.scala-sbt.org/) (*2*) | Scala | `build.sbt` | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium) | 1.

Plans are underway for supporting the following languages, dependency managers, and dependency files. For details, see the issue link for each. | Package Managers | Languages | Supported files | Scan tools | Issue | | ------------------- | --------- | --------------- | ---------- | ----- | | [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) | Python | `poetry.lock` | [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium) | [GitLab#7006](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/7006) | ## Contribute your scanner The [Security Scanner Integration](../../../development/integrations/secure.md) documentation explains how to integrate other security scanners into GitLab. ## Configuration To enable dependency scanning for GitLab 11.9 and later, you must [include](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#includetemplate) the [`Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml` template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml) that is provided as a part of your GitLab installation. For GitLab versions earlier than 11.9, you can copy and use the job as defined that template. Add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file: ```yaml include: - template: Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml ``` The included template creates dependency scanning jobs in your CI/CD pipeline and scans your project's source code for possible vulnerabilities. The results are saved as a [dependency scanning report artifact](../../../ci/pipelines/job_artifacts.md#artifactsreportsdependency_scanning) that you can later download and analyze. Due to implementation limitations, we always take the latest dependency scanning artifact available. ### Customizing the dependency scanning settings The dependency scanning settings can be changed through [CI/CD variables](#available-variables) by using the [`variables`](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#variables) parameter in `.gitlab-ci.yml`. For example: ```yaml include: - template: Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml variables: SECURE_LOG_LEVEL: error ``` Because template is [evaluated before](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#include) the pipeline configuration, the last mention of the variable takes precedence. ### Overriding dependency scanning jobs WARNING: Beginning in GitLab 13.0, the use of [`only` and `except`](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#onlyexcept-basic) is no longer supported. When overriding the template, you must use [`rules`](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#rules) instead. To override a job definition (for example, to change properties like `variables` or `dependencies`), declare a new job with the same name as the one to override. Place this new job after the template inclusion and specify any additional keys under it. For example, this disables `DS_REMEDIATE` for the `gemnasium` analyzer: ```yaml include: - template: Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml gemnasium-dependency_scanning: variables: DS_REMEDIATE: "false" ``` To override the `dependencies: []` attribute, add an override job as above, targeting this attribute: ```yaml include: - template: Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml gemnasium-dependency_scanning: dependencies: ["build"] ``` ### Available variables Dependency scanning can be [configured](#customizing-the-dependency-scanning-settings) using environment variables. #### Configuring dependency scanning The following variables allow configuration of global dependency scanning settings. | CI/CD variables | Description | | ----------------------------|------------ | | `ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE` | Bundle of CA certs to trust. The bundle of certificates provided here is also used by other tools during the scanning process, such as `git`, `yarn`, or `npm`. See [Using a custom SSL CA certificate authority](#using-a-custom-ssl-ca-certificate-authority) for more details. | | `DS_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS` | Override the names of the official default images. Read more about [customizing analyzers](analyzers.md). | | `DS_EXCLUDED_PATHS` | Exclude vulnerabilities from output based on the paths. A comma-separated list of patterns. Patterns can be globs, or file or folder paths (for example, `doc,spec`). Parent directories also match patterns. Default: `"spec, test, tests, tmp"`. | | `SECURE_ANALYZERS_PREFIX` | Override the name of the Docker registry providing the official default images (proxy). Read more about [customizing analyzers](analyzers.md). | | `SECURE_LOG_LEVEL` | Set the minimum logging level. Messages of this logging level or higher are output. From highest to lowest severity, the logging levels are: `fatal`, `error`, `warn`, `info`, `debug`. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/10880) in GitLab 13.1. Default: `info`. | #### Configuring specific analyzers used by dependency scanning The following variables are used for configuring specific analyzers (used for a specific language/framework). | CI/CD variable | Analyzer | Default | Description | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------ | ---------------------------- |------------ | | `BUNDLER_AUDIT_UPDATE_DISABLED` | `bundler-audit` | `"false"` | Disable automatic updates for the `bundler-audit` analyzer. Use if you're running dependency scanning in an offline, air-gapped environment.| | `BUNDLER_AUDIT_ADVISORY_DB_URL` | `bundler-audit` | `https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db` | URL of the advisory database used by bundler-audit. | | `BUNDLER_AUDIT_ADVISORY_DB_REF_NAME` | `bundler-audit` | `master` | Git ref for the advisory database specified by `BUNDLER_AUDIT_ADVISORY_DB_URL`. | | `GEMNASIUM_DB_LOCAL_PATH` | `gemnasium` | `/gemnasium-db` | Path to local Gemnasium database. | | `GEMNASIUM_DB_REMOTE_URL` | `gemnasium` | `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db.git` | Repository URL for fetching the Gemnasium database. | | `GEMNASIUM_DB_REF_NAME` | `gemnasium` | `master` | Branch name for remote repository database. `GEMNASIUM_DB_REMOTE_URL` is required. | | `DS_REMEDIATE` | `gemnasium` | `"true"` | Enable automatic remediation of vulnerable dependencies. | | `DS_JAVA_VERSION` | `gemnasium-maven` | `11` | Version of Java. Available versions: `8`, `11`, `13`, `14`. Maven and Gradle use the Java version specified by this value. | | `MAVEN_CLI_OPTS` | `gemnasium-maven` | `"-DskipTests --batch-mode"` | List of command line arguments that are passed to `maven` by the analyzer. See an example for [using private repositories](../index.md#using-private-maven-repositories). | | `GRADLE_CLI_OPTS` | `gemnasium-maven` | | List of command line arguments that are passed to `gradle` by the analyzer. | | `SBT_CLI_OPTS` | `gemnasium-maven` | | List of command-line arguments that the analyzer passes to `sbt`. | | `PIP_INDEX_URL` | `gemnasium-python` | `https://pypi.org/simple` | Base URL of Python Package Index. | | `PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL` | `gemnasium-python` | | Array of [extra URLs](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#cmdoption-extra-index-url) of package indexes to use in addition to `PIP_INDEX_URL`. Comma-separated. | | `PIP_REQUIREMENTS_FILE` | `gemnasium-python` | | Pip requirements file to be scanned. | | `DS_PIP_VERSION` | `gemnasium-python` | | Force the install of a specific pip version (example: `"19.3"`), otherwise the pip installed in the Docker image is used. ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/12811) in GitLab 12.7) | | `DS_PIP_DEPENDENCY_PATH` | `gemnasium-python` | | Path to load Python pip dependencies from. ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/12412) in GitLab 12.2) | | `DS_PYTHON_VERSION` | `retire.js` | | Version of Python. If set to 2, dependencies are installed using Python 2.7 instead of Python 3.6. ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/12296) in GitLab 12.1, [removed](https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/) in GitLab 13.7). | | `RETIREJS_JS_ADVISORY_DB` | `retire.js` | `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetireJS/retire.js/master/repository/jsrepository.json` | Path or URL to `retire.js` JS vulnerability data file. Note that if the URL hosting the data file uses a custom SSL certificate, for example in an offline installation, you can pass the certificate in the `ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE` variable. | | `RETIREJS_NODE_ADVISORY_DB` | `retire.js` | `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetireJS/retire.js/master/repository/npmrepository.json` | Path or URL to `retire.js` node vulnerability data file. Note that if the URL hosting the data file uses a custom SSL certificate, for example in an offline installation, you can pass the certificate in the `ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE` variable. | | `RETIREJS_ADVISORY_DB_INSECURE` | `retire.js` | `false` | Enable fetching remote JS and Node vulnerability data files (defined by the `RETIREJS_JS_ADVISORY_DB` and `RETIREJS_NODE_ADVISORY_DB` variables) from hosts using an insecure or self-signed SSL (TLS) certificate. | ### Using a custom SSL CA certificate authority You can use the `ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE` CI/CD variable to configure a custom SSL CA certificate authority. The `ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE` value should contain the [text representation of the X.509 PEM public-key certificate](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7468#section-5.1). For example, to configure this value in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, use the following: ```yaml variables: ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE: | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIGqTCCBJGgAwIBAgIQI7AVxxVwg2kch4d56XNdDjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADCB ... jWgmPqF3vUbZE0EyScetPJquRFRKIesyJuBFMAs= -----END CERTIFICATE----- ``` The `ADDITIONAL_CA_CERT_BUNDLE` value can also be configured as a [custom variable in the UI](../../../ci/variables/README.md#create-a-custom-variable-in-the-ui), either as a `file`, which requires the path to the certificate, or as a variable, which requires the text representation of the certificate. ### Using private Maven repositories If your private Maven repository requires login credentials, you can use the `MAVEN_CLI_OPTS` CI/CD variable. Read more on [how to use private Maven repositories](../index.md#using-private-maven-repositories). ## Interacting with the vulnerabilities Once a vulnerability is found, you can interact with it. Read more on how to [address the vulnerabilities](../index.md#addressing-vulnerabilities). ## Solutions for vulnerabilities (auto-remediation) Some vulnerabilities can be fixed by applying the solution that GitLab automatically generates. Read more about the [solutions for vulnerabilities](../index.md#apply-an-automatic-remediation-for-a-vulnerability). ## Security Dashboard The Security Dashboard is a good place to get an overview of all the security vulnerabilities in your groups, projects and pipelines. Read more about the [Security Dashboard](../security_dashboard/index.md). ## Vulnerabilities database update For more information about the vulnerabilities database update, check the [maintenance table](../index.md#maintenance-and-update-of-the-vulnerabilities-database). ## Dependency List An additional benefit of dependency scanning is the ability to view your project's dependencies and their known vulnerabilities. Read more about the [Dependency List](../dependency_list/index.md). ## Reports JSON format The dependency scanning tool emits a JSON report file. For more information, see the [schema for this report](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/security-report-schemas/-/blob/master/dist/dependency-scanning-report-format.json).

You can also [submit new vulnerabilities](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). ## Running dependency scanning in an offline environment For self-managed GitLab instances in an environment with limited, restricted, or intermittent access to external resources through the internet, some adjustments are required for dependency scanning jobs to run successfully. For more information, see [Offline environments](../offline_deployments/index.md). ### Requirements for offline dependency scanning Here are the requirements for using dependency scanning in an offline environment: - GitLab Runner with the [`docker` or `kubernetes` executor](#requirements). - Docker Container Registry with locally available copies of dependency scanning [analyzer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers) images. - If you have a limited access environment you need to allow access, such as using a proxy, to the advisory database: `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db.git`. If you are unable to permit access to `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db.git` you must host an offline copy of this `git` repository and set the `GEMNASIUM_DB_REMOTE_URL` CI/CD variable to the URL of this repository. For more information on configuration variables, see [Dependency Scanning](#configuring-dependency-scanning). This advisory database is constantly being updated, so you must periodically sync your local copy with GitLab. - _Only if scanning Ruby projects_: Host an offline Git copy of the [advisory database](https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db). - _Only if scanning npm/yarn projects_: Host an offline copy of the [`retire.js`](https://github.com/RetireJS/retire.js/) [node](https://github.com/RetireJS/retire.js/blob/master/repository/npmrepository.json) and [`js`](https://github.com/RetireJS/retire.js/blob/master/repository/jsrepository.json) advisory databases. Note that GitLab Runner has a [default `pull policy` of `always`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html#using-the-always-pull-policy), meaning the runner tries to pull Docker images from the GitLab container registry even if a local copy is available. The GitLab Runner [`pull_policy` can be set to `if-not-present`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html#using-the-if-not-present-pull-policy) in an offline environment if you prefer using only locally available Docker images. However, we recommend keeping the pull policy setting to `always` if not in an offline environment, as this enables the use of updated scanners in your CI/CD pipelines. ### Make GitLab dependency scanning analyzer images available inside your Docker registry For dependency scanning with all [supported languages and frameworks](#supported-languages-and-package-managers), import the following default dependency scanning analyzer images from `registry.gitlab.com` into your [local Docker container registry](../../packages/container_registry/index.md): ```plaintext registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium:2 registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium-maven:2 registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium-python:2 registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/retire.js:2 registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/bundler-audit:2 ``` The process for importing Docker images into a local offline Docker registry depends on **your network security policy**. Please consult your IT staff to find an accepted and approved process by which external resources can be imported or temporarily accessed. Note that these scanners are [updated periodically](../index.md#maintenance-and-update-of-the-vulnerabilities-database) with new definitions, so consider if you can make periodic updates yourself. For details on saving and transporting Docker images as a file, see Docker's documentation on [`docker save`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/save/), [`docker load`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/load/), [`docker export`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/export/), and [`docker import`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/import/). #### Support for Custom Certificate Authorities Support for custom certificate authorities was introduced in the following versions. | Analyzer | Version | | -------- | ------- | | `gemnasium` | [v2.8.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium/-/releases/v2.8.0) | | `gemnasium-maven` | [v2.9.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium-maven/-/releases/v2.9.0) | | `gemnasium-python` | [v2.7.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium-python/-/releases/v2.7.0) | | `retire.js` | [v2.4.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/retire.js/-/releases/v2.4.0) | | `bundler-audit` | [v2.4.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/bundler-audit/-/releases/v2.4.0) | ### Set dependency scanning CI/CD job variables to use local dependency scanning analyzers Add the following configuration to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. You must change the value of `SECURE_ANALYZERS_PREFIX` to refer to your local Docker container registry. You must also change the value of `GEMNASIUM_DB_REMOTE_URL` to the location of your offline Git copy of the [gemnasium-db advisory database](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db/): ```yaml include: - template: Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml variables: SECURE_ANALYZERS_PREFIX: "docker-registry.example.com/analyzers" GEMNASIUM_DB_REMOTE_URL: "gitlab.example.com/gemnasium-db.git" ``` See explanations of the variables above in the [configuration section](#configuration). ### Specific settings for languages and package managers See the following sections for configuring specific languages and package managers. #### JavaScript (npm and yarn) projects Add the following to the variables section of `.gitlab-ci.yml`: ```yaml RETIREJS_JS_ADVISORY_DB: "example.com/jsrepository.json" RETIREJS_NODE_ADVISORY_DB: "example.com/npmrepository.json" ``` #### Ruby (gem) projects Add the following to the variables section of `.gitlab-ci.yml`: ```yaml BUNDLER_AUDIT_ADVISORY_DB_REF_NAME: "master" BUNDLER_AUDIT_ADVISORY_DB_URL: "gitlab.example.com/ruby-advisory-db.git" ``` #### Python (setup tools) When using self-signed certificates for your private PyPi repository, no extra job configuration (aside from the template `.gitlab-ci.yml` above) is needed. However, you must update your `setup.py` to ensure that it can reach your private repository. Here is an example configuration: 1. Update `setup.py` to create a `dependency_links` attribute pointing at your private repository for each dependency in the `install_requires` list: ```python install_requires=['pyparsing>=2.0.3'], dependency_links=['https://pypi.example.com/simple/pyparsing'], ``` 1. Fetch the certificate from your repository URL and add it to the project: ```shell echo -n | openssl s_client -connect pypi.example.com:443 | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > internal.crt ``` 1. Point `setup.py` at the newly downloaded certificate: ```python import setuptools.ssl_support setuptools.ssl_support.cert_paths = ['internal.crt'] ``` ## Limitations ### Referencing local dependencies using a path in JavaScript projects The [Retire.js](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/retire.js) analyzer doesn't support dependency references made with [local paths](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/configuring-npm/package-json/#local-paths) in the `package.json` of JavaScript projects. The dependency scan outputs the following error for such references: ```plaintext ERROR: Could not find dependencies: . You may need to run npm install ``` As a workaround, remove the [`retire.js`](analyzers.md#selecting-specific-analyzers) analyzer from [DS_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS](#configuring-dependency-scanning). ## Troubleshooting ### `Error response from daemon: error processing tar file: docker-tar: relocation error` This error occurs when the Docker version that runs the dependency scanning job is `19.03.0`. Consider updating to Docker `19.03.1` or greater. Older versions are not affected.

This directive is limited to 10000 checks and always returns `true` after reaching this number. Because of this, and depending on the number of files in your repository, a dependency scanning job might be triggered even if the scanner doesn't support your project. ### Issues building projects with npm or yarn packages relying on Python 2 [Python 2 was removed](https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/) from the `retire.js` analyzer in GitLab 13.7 (analyzer version 2.10.1). Projects using packages with a dependency on this version of Python should use `retire.js` version 2.10.0 or lower (for example, `registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/retire.js:2.10.0`). ### Error: `dependency_scanning is used for configuration only, and its script should not be executed` For information on this, see the [GitLab Secure troubleshooting section](../index.md#error-job-is-used-for-configuration-only-and-its-script-should-not-be-executed).
