Container Inventory

The Container Inventory group, located in the Discovery & Inventory menu, links to the All Containers page, where you can find information about your Docker container host(s), container images, and associated running containers in your network. Application inventory is collected from running containers. After the inventory data is imported into IT Asset Management, matching discovered device records are created automatically.

note

Visibilities of your Docker and Podman containers is disabled by default, so please ensure that you first enable them from the Inventory Settings Page page, under Container Scanning.

tip

FlexNet Inventory Agent requires a running container instance to gather software inventory. Best practice is to have FlexNet Inventory Agent locally installed on the host where containers may be run.

note

Inventory from Docker or Podman containers does not contribute towards the number of inventory devices covered by your IT Asset Management license.
