Docker discoveries
The Docker discoveries let you list the set of Docker images available from a registry, or pulled into an existing Docker deployment. The discovered Docker images can then be added to Cyberwatch with a grouped action for scanning.
Discovery from Linux
Prerequisites
Docker image discoveries on Linux-based assets need:
- Running images
- Root permissions with
sudo
if the user is not root or access to the docker socket is not allowed
This discovery retrieves all Docker images present on all Linux machines within the Forwarded scope.
By default, the Forwarded scope encompasses all Linux assets, but it is possible to narrow it down by selecting one or more groups in the Forwarded scope field of the form.
Add the discovered Docker images
From the discovery assets list, you may see and filter the Docker images without any associated assets. To add them to Cyberwatch, pick the images you wish to scan and click Bulk actions > Scan as Docker images.
To scan an images, you will need a Docker engine. If you have not configured one yet, please refer to Add a Docker image.
Newly discovered Docker images can be automatically added to Cyberwatch as they are discovered. To enable this feature, you need to go to the discovery edition form and specify a Docker engine.
The registry is automatically selected based on the name of the discovered image. For instance, the image example.com/library/hello
would automatically use the registry example.com
, provided it has been added as a stored credential. New registries are automatically added as stored credentials, and you can manually edit them if they require authentication. You may in certain contexts select a preferred registry, but it will only be selected when the registry in the name of the discovered image matches the entry point of the registry.
