Start a Registry Scan

POST 
/api/v34.00/registry/scan
x-prisma-cloud-target-env: {"permission":"monitorImages"}

Triggers a new scan for all images when a new image is added to the registry or a new scan for an individual image.

You can use the scanning feature in the following ways:

Regular scan​

This feature allows you to trigger a new scan immediately for all the images when a new image is added to the registry or trigger a scan for an individual image.

Consider the following points for a regular scan:

  • You cannot make multiple parallel scan requests with a regular scan.
  • You either need to stop the on-going scan using the api/vVERSION/registry/stop or wait for the on-going scan to finish. For information on stopping a regular scan, see Stop Registry Scan
  • You can view the scan result or response for all the images by using the api/vVERSION/registry API endpoint. For information on scan result, see Get Registry Scan Report

cURL Request​

Refer to the following example cURL command that forces Prisma Cloud Compute to rescan all registry images:

$ curl -k \
 -u <USER> \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -X POST \
 https://<CONSOLE>/api/v<VERSION>/registry/scan

Refer to the following example cURL command that forces Prisma Cloud Compute to re-scan a specific image:

$ curl -k \
 -u <USER> \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -X POST \
 -d '{"tag":{"registry":"<REGISTRY>","repo":"<REPO>","tag":"<TAG>","digest":""}}'\
 https://<CONSOLE>/api/v<VERSION>/registry/scan

On-demand scan​

This feature allows you to trigger a new scan immediately for an individual image and not wait for the next periodic scan.

Note: For an on-demand scan, you must pre-define the image registry scope in the registry scanning configuration.

Consider the following points for an on-demand scan:

  • You can trigger multiple on-demand image scans without interrupting the main registry scanning process.

  • You cannot stop a running on-demand scan, you can only initiate a new parallel scan.

  • You can view the on-demand scan result or response by using query parameter name that specifies the full image name in the api/vVERSION/registry API endpoint. For information on scan result, see Get Registry Scan Report

cURL Request​

Refer to the following example cURL command to trigger an on-demand scan for an image:

$ curl -k \
 -u <USER> \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -X POST \
 -d '{“onDemandScan”:true,“tag”:{“registry” :“<REGISTRY>”,“repo”:“<REPO>”,“digest”:“”}}' \
 "https://<CONSOLE>/api/v<VERSION>/registry/scan"
