All Container Images

This page displays inventory for all container images, including images from which no container is currently instantiated (as known to FlexNet inventory).

In addition to the Image ID and other reported attributes shown in the grid, the page also displays a count of containers associated with each image. Selecting the container count navigates to the All Containers page, which is automatically filtered to show only containers instantiated from the selected image.

The following columns are available, listed alphabetically. Some columns are displayed by default, while others can be added using the column chooser. For information about managing columns and other table-related options, see the topics under Managing Columns in a Table.

Field

Description

Cluster properties:

Cluster ID

For Kubernetes, the unique ID of the cluster containing the worker node where the pod runs the container instantiated from the image. For a Docker environment, this column remains blank.

Cluster name

May display:

  • Blank for a Docker environment.

  • For Kubernetes, the name of the cluster containing the worker node where the pod is running (typically hosting a container instantiated from the named image). Cluster names are not guaranteed to be unique. You may resolve duplicate names by checking the Cluster ID.

Host properties:

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.

Operating system

The operating system running on either:

  • For a Kubernetes cluster, the operating system of the worker node (this worker node appears in the Host name column)

  • For Docker, the operating system running on the Host name.

Role

The role assigned to the container's host, such as Development, Test, and Production.

Status

The current state of the container's host. It can have any of the following values:- Active: The device is active, for which the inventory information is received from an inventory source.

  • Archived: The device is in transition pending deletion, but is currently held because of its historical impacts on IBM PVU sub-capacity retrospective calculations.

  • Awaiting Inventory: This device is a place-holder that has not yet appeared in imported inventory from any source.

  • Ignored: The device is not managed. An ignored device is not considered in license consumption calculations.

Image properties:

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.

Image installed date

The date of when the image was installed on the device represented in this row. This value may be blank if this row displays a Kubernetes pod not running a container.

Last used date

This value may be:

  • Blank for a Kubernetes pod that does not include a container

  • In images with any running container, the most recent date that a reconcile occurred, when any container instantiated from this image was running

  • For images without a running container, the date when the most recently-running container stopped running.

Number of containers

A count of containers associated with each image. Selecting a value in thia column navigates to the All Containers page, automatically filtered to show containers for the selected container image.

Operating system

This value may be:

  • Blank if this row displays a Kubernetes pod that has no container

  • For a row displaying an image without a container, the operating system in the user environment contained in the image

  • For a row displaying a container, the operating system in the user environment contained in the image that the container is running.

Repository tags

This value may be

  • Blank if this row displays a Kubernetes pod that has no container

  • The repository tag(s) associated with the image, for a row that displays an image without any container

  • The repository tag(s) associated with the image that the container is running, for a row that displays a container.

Tip: Multiple tags are comma-separated.
