# Registries

> Discover, monitor, and manage container registries with visibility into vulnerabilities, ownership, and linked assets.

## Overview

The **Registries** module provides a centralized inventory of all container registries discovered across your environment.

It enables teams to track registry sources, monitor vulnerabilities, and maintain ownership visibility for container-based assets.

## Dashboard View

The dashboard gives a high-level summary of registry posture.

### Key Metrics

* **Total Registries** — All discovered registries
* **Vulnerable Registries** — Registries with detected vulnerabilities
* **Critical Registries** — Registries with critical issues
* **Archived Registries** — Registries marked as archived

### Visual Insights

* **Vulnerability Severity Distribution** — High, Medium, Low breakdown
* **Active vs Archive Distribution** — Lifecycle status of registries

***

## Registry Inventory

The inventory view lists all registries with key metadata.

## Registry Asset View

Clicking a registry opens a detailed asset view.

## General Information

Each registry asset includes:

* **Asset ID**
* **Type (Registry)**
* **Registry Value (URL / Path)**
* **Environment**
* **Internal Asset (Yes / No)**
* **Is New**
* **Associated Assets**
* **First Detected / Last Detected**

***

## Ownership

</Frame>

Each registry is mapped to an owner for accountability:

* **User**
* **Team**
* **Department**
* **Custom Assignment**

***

## Security Overview

Registries include a built-in security summary:

* **Total Vulnerabilities**
* **Severity Breakdown** (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Info)
* **Open vs Closed Vulnerabilities**
* **Aggregate CVSS**
* **Remediation Progress**
* **Last Scan Date**
* **Tested Status**

***

## Asset Relationships

Registries can be linked to other assets within AIM:

* Applications
* Repositories (e.g., GitLab repos)
* Related infrastructure assets

This helps teams understand how container registries connect to the broader environment.

***

## Data Sources (Adapters)

AIM integrates with external providers to discover registry data.

* Example: **GitLab Integration**
* Automatically fetches registry and repository information

***

## Why This Matters

The Registries module helps teams:

* Maintain visibility over all container registries
* Identify vulnerable container sources
* Track ownership and accountability
* Understand relationships between registries and applications
* Monitor registry activity and lifecycle status
