Parse findings stored as Protobuf text

This code sample shows how to extract details from inspection findings that are saved in Protobuf text format. Do this task if you saved your inspection findings to Cloud Storage. This example converts the exported SaveToGcsFindingsOutput object into a human-readable format. You can then use the output to analyze individual inspection findings.
