When launched in a directory that contains mod resources, Steampipe builds introspection tables including steampipe_query, steampipe_benchmark, and steampipe_control. This example shows that you can visualize those tables in a dashboard.
The setup:
steampipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-thrifty
Installed 1 mod:
local
└── github.com/turbot/[email protected]
steampipe dashboard

The source_definition column of steampipe_control has the Postgres type text, not jsonb, so this example illustrates the use of the Postgres regexp_matches function to dig out the query and descriptions from the source_definition.
Links back to the hub are accomplished using the HCL href argument with a jq template, in combination with HCL variable interpolation of a local variable.
