Scan Agent Plugins

The following enhancements to Code Insight remote scanning are now available.

Custom Temporary Directory for Scanning Docker Images

Previously, the Docker Images plugin both stored a specified image file and scanned its extracted contents in the /tmp directory on the machine where the plugin is installed. However, this directory did not always have sufficient space to process these files.

Users now have the option to use the /tmp directory by default or specify a directory of their choice for storing and scanning extracted files. (This custom directory is specified by including a -tmpdir parameter in the command that launches the plugin scan.) As with the /tmp directory, the artifacts are deleted from the custom directory once the scan completes.

For more information, see “Docker Images Plugin” in the Code Insight Plugins Guide.
