Container Registry:Image usage analysis

Last Updated:Jun 21, 2026

The Image Analysis feature provides an event line that records image push, pull, and delete operations. This helps you analyze potential security risks, such as access from unauthorized public IP addresses and image content risks. This topic describes how to use the Image Analysis feature in Container Registry (ACR) Enterprise Edition.

Prerequisites

Note

To use the image event feature, you must submit a ticket.

Image event line

By monitoring the event line, you can track image operations in real time, identify and respond to potential security risks, and ensure your images are secure and compliant.

  1. Log on to the Container Registry console.

  2. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

  3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Instances.

  4. On the Instances page, click the Enterprise Edition instance that you want to manage.

  5. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Instances > Image Analysis. On the Image Analysis page, select the target image based on the following parameters.

    Parameter

    Description

    Example

    Namespace

    Select the namespace of the target image.

    test-namespace

    Repository

    Select the repository of the target image.

    test-repository

    Tag

    Select the tag of the target image.

    v1

  6. On the Event line tab, set event filters and a time range. Then, click Search to view the events for the target image.

    Parameter

    Description

    Event Filters

    You can filter events by image operation, including Push, Pull, and Delete.

    Custom time range

    You can query image events from the past 30 days.

    On the Event line tab, you can view the event category, client network type, client IP address (only public IP addresses are displayed), and event time. The Event Summary section summarizes the image events within the specified time range.

Image analysis

Before analyzing an image, you must grant the target ACK cluster read permissions on the ACR instance. You can then view the image's deployment details within the authorized cluster.

  1. On the Image Analysis page, click Complete authorization to obtain and analyze the usage of images in ACK clusters.

  2. In the Cluster Authorization dialog box, find the target cluster and click Add authorization in the Actions column. In the dialog box that appears, click Confirm.

    After authorizing the target ACK cluster, on the Image Analysis tab, click Search to analyze the image and view its deployment details.

    The Analysis Summary section shows how many ACK clusters and applications use the image. Data is updated daily at 00:00. The table below lists the Deployed application and Namespace information for each selected cluster.
