IT Visibility – TI Reporting: Enhancements – Now Live!
What's New
1. Expanded Container Inventory and Vulnerability Visibility
Broader Container Coverage. Deeper Software and Security Insights.
IT Visibility now extends container inventory support beyond Kubernetes to include containerd, Podman, and Docker environments, providing customers with broader visibility across their container ecosystem. The Container Inventory report has been enhanced with three dedicated pages to provide a more structured view of container infrastructure, software, and vulnerabilities:
- Container Ecosystem: Provides visibility into container and underlying infrastructure inventory, helping teams understand their container landscape.
- Container Software and Vulnerability Visibility: Brings together container software inventory, lifecycle insights, and vulnerability information. Dedicated container, software, and vulnerability filter groups make it easier to narrow down insights based on software category, lifecycle stage, vulnerability criticality, and CVE-related attributes.
- Node Hardware Insights: Includes a new Containers column in the Node Hardware Summary table, helping customers understand the relationship between their infrastructure nodes and container workloads.
Customer Value
With expanded container ecosystem coverage and integrated software lifecycle and vulnerability insights, IT teams can gain a more comprehensive view of their container environments. This enables better visibility into deployed container technologies, helps identify software lifecycle exposure and security risks, and supports more informed infrastructure and vulnerability management decisions.
For details on enabling containerd, Podman, and Docker scanning through inventory agents, see Editing Inventory Agent Common Settings.
2. Lifecycle Metrics Calculation Logic – Improved Transparency and Clarity
Clearer Lifecycle Calculations. More Confident Decision-Making.
Based on customer feedback, we have introduced comprehensive documentation outlining the calculation logic behind Lifecycle metrics across IT Visibility reports. The documentation explains how lifecycle statuses and their associated metrics are determined, providing greater transparency into the underlying calculations and helping customers better understand how Lifecycle Intelligence insights are derived. This guidance supports customers in interpreting lifecycle information consistently and understanding the methodology behind lifecycle classifications and related metrics across the following IT Visibility reports:
Customer Value
By making lifecycle calculation methodologies more transparent and accessible, customers can better interpret lifecycle insights, validate reported statuses, and build confidence in the information used to prioritize technology refresh initiatives, manage end-of-life exposure, and make informed technology investment decisions.
For more information, see Software Lifecycle Stage Calculation.
