Inventory - Asset Type

[Rene2mt]

Constraint Task

Consistent with issue #813, this constraint focuses on validating information that describes the asset's function (e.g., router, storage array, DNS server, etc.).

NOTE - Mandatory for OS/Infrastructure, Containers. Leave blank for Software and Database.

Intended Outcome

• Every inventory-item MUST have an "asset-type" property either within the inventory-item itself, or within the component linked by the inventory-item

Syntax Type

This is optional core OSCAL syntax.

Allowed Values

FedRAMP allowed values must be defined or verified.

Metapath(s) to Content

context="//inventory-item"

target=". | //component[@uuid=./implemented-component/@component-uuid]"

count(./prop[@name='asset-type' ]) >= 1

Purpose of the OSCAL Content

Acceptance Criteria

• All OSCAL adoption content affected by the change in this issue have been updated in accordance with the Documentation Standards.
  • Explanation is present and accurate
  • sample content is present and accurate
  • Metapath is present, accurate, and does not throw a syntax exception using oscal-cli metaschema metapath eval -e "expression".
• All constraints associated with the review task have been created
• The appropriate example OSCAL file is updated with content that demonstrates the FedRAMP-compliant OSCAL presentation.
• The constraint conforms to the FedRAMP Constraint Style Guide.
  • All automated and manual review items that identify non-conformance are addressed; or technical leads (David Waltermire; AJ Stein) have approved the PR and “override” the style guide requirement.
• Known good test content is created for unit testing.
• Known bad test content is created for unit testing.
• Unit testing is configured to run both known good and known bad test content examples.
• Passing and failing unit tests, and corresponding test vectors in the form of known valid and invalid OSCAL test files, are created or updated for each constraint.
• A Pull Request (PR) is submitted that fully addresses the goals section of the User Story in the issue.
• This issue is referenced in the PR.

Other information

In addition to the core NIST OSCAL allowed values for "asset-type", FedRAMP adds "image" and "container" as allowed values. We may need an allowed values constraint with @allow-other="yes"
