description: |-
The checksum post-processor computes specified checksum for the artifact list
from an upstream builder or post-processor. All downstream post-processors
will see the new artifacts. The primary use-case is compute checksum for
artifacts allows to verify it later. So firstly this post-processor get
artifact, compute it checksum and pass to next post-processor original
artifacts and checksum files.

# Checksum Post-Processor
Type: `checksum`
The checksum post-processor computes specified checksum for the artifact list
from an upstream builder or post-processor. All downstream post-processors will
see the new artifacts. The primary use-case is compute checksum for artifact to
verify it later.
After computes checksum for artifacts, you can use new artifacts with other
post-processors like
[artifice](https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors/artifice.html),
[compress](https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors/compress.html),
[docker-push](https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors/docker-push.html),
[atlas](https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors/atlas.html), or a third-party
post-processor.
## Basic example
The example below is fully functional.
```json
{
"type": "checksum"
}
```
## Configuration Reference
Optional parameters:
- `checksum_types` (array of strings) - An array of strings of checksum types
to compute. Allowed values are md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512.
- `output` (string) - Specify filename to store checksums. This defaults to
`packer_{{.BuildName}}_{{.BuilderType}}_{{.ChecksumType}}.checksum`. For
example, if you had a builder named `database`, you might see the file
written as `packer_database_docker_md5.checksum`. The following variables are
available to use in the output template:
* `BuildName`: The name of the builder that produced the artifact.
* `BuilderType`: The type of builder used to produce the artifact.
* `ChecksumType`: The type of checksums the file contains. This should be
used if you have more than one value in `checksum_types`.
