Snapshot Storage Reference
Reference for the per-Site Snapshot storage configuration. AlloyScan can offload audit snapshots (JSON files) to an S3-compatible external bucket. Configure it at Admin Center > Site Settings > Settings > Snapshot storage.
Fields

| Endpoint | URL | Any S3-compatible endpoint URL | https://s3.amazonaws.com |
Endpoint URL of the storage service. Required. |
| Bucket | String | Lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens; no periods; no underscores | — | Bucket name. Required. |
| Enabled | Boolean | ON / OFF | OFF | When ON, AlloyScan auto-uploads each new audit snapshot to the bucket after the audit completes. |
Constraints
- Snapshot storage is per-Site. Each Site configures its own destination bucket.
- Offload is additive — local snapshots are retained alongside the offloaded copies. Enabling the toggle does not migrate existing snapshots.
- Bucket-name conventions are enforced by the storage provider: lowercase, no periods, no underscores.
- Audit snapshots may contain sensitive data — use credentials with minimal required permissions on the bucket.
States
- Disabled (
Enabled = OFF) — no offload occurs; snapshots remain only on the AlloyScan instance. - Enabled (
Enabled = ON) — every new audit snapshot is uploaded to the bucket after the audit completes.
