Docker Container Discovery and Inventory
In this release we have added the capability to discover and inventory Docker containers where the FlexNet inventory agent is installed on your Linux Docker host.
Containers provide a standard way to package the application's code, configurations, and dependencies into a single object while sharing an operating system installed on the server (host). Containers run as resource-isolated processes, ensuring quick, reliable, and consistent deployments, regardless of environment.
A new Container Inventory group has been added to the Discovery and Inventory menu. Here you will find the new All Containers view that displays a hierarchy of your hosts, images and containers, and includes:
- Name
- Operating system
- Last used date
- Type
- Status - for example Running, Paused and Exited (stopped).
- Created date
- Image ID
- Repository tags
- Repository digests
By clicking on the displayed link, you can open the Container Image Properties page. All containers that have been launched from this image can be seen by selecting the Containers tab. Applications installed in an image are visible from the Applications tab, and in the same manner the associated evidence can be viewed from the Evidence tab.
A Containers tab has been added to the Inventory Device Properties page providing a summary view of each container that has been launched from your container host. You can also inspect the properties for any image, and once again view the Application, Evidence and Containers information is available for each image
- Container name
- Host name
- Image ID
- Status
- Started date
- Stopped date (where applicable).
Inventory from Docker containers will not be counted towards your licensed number of inventory devices.
No container information will be available when using Flexera Analytics.
