Repository

The Repository manager is used to view the contents of the local Insights repository. The AppControl Insights repository provides additional information about used marketplace components, Java libraries, log solutions, and vulnerabilities. The local repository is synchronized every 24 hours with the central repository managed by Blue Storm. This ensures that you always have the latest information about the software components used by your apps.

When apps are scanned by AppControl information about modules, widgets, Java libraries, and Mendix versions is stored in the local repository. If your apps use components that are not known in the central repository, information about these components is shared anonymously with the central AppControl Insights repository once every 24 hours. Blue Storm then reviews and verifies the information, and if necessary, adds these components to the central repository.

Update Log

The update log shows information about the synchronization of your local repository with the central AppControl repository. Errors in the synchronization process will prevent new component information from being downloaded, and this can cause policy states, scorecards, and reports to be incomplete.

Mendix Versions

This tab shows all the known Mendix versions stored in your repository.

Modules

This tab shows all the modules stored in your repository. Note: This includes public marketplace modules as well as private marketplace modules.

Widgets

This tab shows all the widgets stored in your repository. Note: This includes public marketplace widgets, private marketplace widgets, and custom widgets.

Java Libraries

This tab shows all the Java libraries stored in your repository. Note: This includes Java libraries used by Marketplace content as well as custom Java libraries in use by your apps.

Vulnerabilities

This tab shows all the vulnerability information stored in your repository. Vulnerabilities have a vulnerability ID (an ID unique to AppControl) and in some cases a CVE ID. Vulnerability information is collected by Blue Storm from multiple sources and attached to those components with known vulnerabilities.

Solutions

This tab shows all the log solutions stored in your repository. Log solutions are how-to articles created either by Blue Storm or yourself, and are automatically attached to log messages that have been scanned by AppControl and identified as having a known solution.
