# Getting information about Kubernetes monitoring agent images
{: #monitoring_agent_image}

Kubernetes monitoring agent images are public images that are available in IBM Cloud through the [IBM Cloud Container Registry](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-getting-started&format=markdown) service.
{: shortdesc}

You can access the images that are provided by IBM® by using the command line.

Complete the following steps to get information about the monitoring agent images:

## Before you begin
{: #monitoring_agent_image_prereqs}

Before you begin, complete the following tasks:

1. Ensure that the IBM Cloud Container Registry CLI is installed, see [Installing the `container-registry` CLI plug-in](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-registry_setup_cli_namespace&format=markdown#cli_namespace_registry_cli_install).

2. Log in to [IBM Cloud](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli?topic=cli-ibmcloud_cli&format=markdown#ibmcloud_login):

    ```text
    ibmcloud login
    ```
    {: pre}


## Step 1. Target the global registry
{: #monitoring_agent_image_step1}

Run the following command:

```text
ibmcloud cr region-set global
```
{: pre}



## Step 2. List the monitoring agent images that are hosted in the global registry
{: #monitoring_dna_agent_image_step2}

Run the following command:

```text
ibmcloud cr images --restrict ext/sysdig
```
{: codeblock}

The output of this command is the list of monitoring agent images. It includes information about the repository, `icr.io/ext/sysdig`, the image tag, the image digest, the image namespace, when the image was created, the image size, and the images security status.
