Abstract:
Examples of techniques for detecting and tracking virtual containers are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes detecting a virtual container. The method further includes collecting virtual container data for the virtual container. The method also includes associating, by a processing device, the virtual container to at least one of a plurality of images. Additionally, the method includes building, by the processing device, a container event database based on the virtual container data and the association of the virtual container to the at least one of the plurality of images, so as to enable tracking of software in the plurality of images and in live virtual containers.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer program product comprising:\n a non-transitory storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing operations comprising: detecting and storing in an event log of a database, for a base image to which software is licensed as well as for each image of a hierarchical structure of images that are derived from the base image, events relating to the image, wherein each image is configured to run as one or more virtual containers, wherein each container of the one or more virtual containers is configured to run the software licensed to the base image, and wherein the events indicate when the one or more virtual containers are running the software licensed to the base image; and while detecting the events related to each of the images:\n dynamically determining and storing in the database a license quantity indicative of how many live virtual containers are running the software licensed to the base image; and \n based on the license quantity exceeding a predefined license quantity limit, determining and reporting a licensing violation related to the software licensed to the base image.
