# Check Aliases

Prowler allows you to use aliases for the checks. You only have to add the `CheckAliases` key to the check's metadata with a list of the aliases:

    "Provider": "<provider>",
    "CheckID": "<check_id>",
    "CheckTitle": "<check_title>",
    "CheckAliases": [
      "<check_alias_1>"
      "<check_alias_2>",
      ...
    ],
    ...

Then, you can execute the check either with its check ID or with one of the previous aliases:
```console
prowler <provider> -c/--checks <check_alias_1>

Using alias <check_alias_1> for check <check_id>...
```
