Container Installation Details Report

The Container Installation Details Report displays applications installed on specific container images and lists containers where installations have occurred. It is similar to the Application Installation Details Report, which focuses on inventory devices such as computers and virtual machines. However, the new report is specifically tailored for containers. Running the Container Installation Details report gives you a clear view of application installations, along with contextual information about the container in which each installation was discovered.

Generating the report

1.

Go to the Container Installation Details page (Reporting > Application Reports > Container Installation Details).

2.

In the top left corner is a search field titled Publisher. Click the search icon and then select a publisher. This populates the Applications search field a list of applications by this publisher.

3.

In the search field titled Applications, select the application(s) to include in this report or skip this search to include all applications by this publisher. For help with the search, see To Use a Fly-Down.

4.

Click Run report.

Important:Although this report will run without refining the results, we highly recommend applying filters to prevent the report timing out before completion.

Reading the Report

The following columns (listed alphabetically) are available. keep in mind that some columns are accessible by means of the column chooser to limit the default number of columns displayed.

Property	Description
Access mode	The method that this device uses to access a software application. This field can have one of the following values: • Blank—When there is an allocation without any supportive installation record from the imported inventory. • App-V—For a virtualized application delivered through Microsoft App-V • Local—The application has been installed locally on the inventory device. • XenApp (now known as Citrix Virtual Apps)—The application has been accessed remotely via a Citrix XenApp server. • XenDesktop (now known as Virtual Desktops)—The application has been installed on a virtual machine in your VDI infrastructure, and associated with this inventory device because the primary end-user has accessed the software through this inventory device. If your virtual machine image includes the Inventory Agent, this inventory device may have been identified as the end-point from which the end user accessed the VDI. In other circumstances, the end-user may have used a remote device such as a home computer or mobile device that cannot be inventoried; but as the end-user is associated with this inventory device, the application use can be recorded here for license consumption calculations. Flexera One generates the value of this field.
Application name	The name of the application installed found on this container.
Container ID	Unique identifier of the container. (Where the row displays either an image or a pod for which there is no container, this value remains blank.)
Container name	The name of the container, only populated when the current row displays a container (and remains blank for rows that contain either a Kubernetes pod without a container, or an image from which no container has been instantiated).
Container status	Remains blank for rows without containers (images from which no container is instantiated, or pods without containers), and otherwise displays the status reported for the container. For a Kubernetes container, the three possible container states are: • Running • Terminated • Waiting • Unknown. For further information please see https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/. For a Docker container, the status may be one of: • Created • Dead • Exited • Paused • Removing • Restarting • Running • Unknown. For further information please see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/ps/#status.
Host name	The name of the host running the Docker service; or, in a Kubernetes environment, the name of the Kubernetes worker node. You can click on the container host link to open its Inventory Device Properties page.
Image ID	Unique identifier of the image. Populated for the image and containers instantiated from it. (Remains blank for any Kubernetes pod not running a container.) You can click on this link to open the Container Image Properties page for this image.
Last used date	The most recent date when this user opened the application, on any machine where the user has a login. Requires that usage information on this application is returned by at least one inventory source. This value relies on inventory, and is not editable.
Started date	The date when the container started running.
Stopped date	The date when the container stopped running.
