What is a .TFState file?
TFState records the real cloud resources Terraform is managing, as JSON.
- Did you know
- Terraform keeps a state file mapping your config to the resources it actually created.
- Because state is stored as plaintext JSON, it can expose passwords and keys, so teams keep it in locked remote backends.
- The file maps every resource in your configuration to the real object Terraform created in the cloud.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read metadata from developer and data files: JWT tokens (header + claims + expiry), WebAssembly, Java class files, NumPy/Safetensors/GGUF model files, source maps, SQL dumps, Visual Studio/.NET projects, Terraform, Protobuf, GraphQL, SARIF, Python bytecode, and Apple property lists (XML + binary). Jupyter notebooks (IPYNB) and HAR captures now open in a full viewer - see Notebooks & data above.
- Depth of analysis
- .TFState is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .TFState file
- Drag a .TFState file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
