New support for Podman inventory on Linux
Podman has emerged as the industry standard for container management, replacing Docker on many servers, including those running Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The FlexNet Inventory Agent now supports inventory collection from Podman on Linux. This new feature ensures comprehensive inventory management and aligns with the industry shift towards Podman, particularly in environments like OpenShift where Podman serves as the underlying container runtime.
Visibility of your Podman containers is disabled by default. To enable Podman inventory and running inventory agent inside Podman containers, go to the Inventory Settings page ( ) and select the corresponding checkbox in the Container scanning section.
