Summary

The Container Image Trends view in Datadog provides insights into every container image used in an environment, helping users quickly detect and remediate security and performance problems. This view offers a high-level summary of key metrics such as max image size, oldest image age, total vulnerability count, and total running containers, providing a brief overview of the container image ecosystem at a glance. It also allows users to dive deeper into details about running containers associated with their images, track progress in remediating vulnerabilities, and use dashboards based on image-specific metrics for more customized monitoring. Additionally, it helps identify unused cloud registries and images taking up unnecessary disk space, enabling users to optimize their infrastructure footprint and costs.
