## Enable/Disable Scanners
You can enable/disable scanners with the `--scanners` flag.

Supported values:

- vuln
- misconfig
- secret
- license
 
For example, container image scanning enables vulnerability and secret scanners by default.
If you don't need secret scanning, it can be disabled.

``` shell
$ trivy image --scanners vuln alpine:3.15
```

## Exit Code
|     Scanner      | Supported |
|:----------------:|:---------:|
|  Vulnerability   |     ✓     |
| Misconfiguration |     ✓     |
|      Secret      |     ✓     |
|     License      |     ✓     |

By default, `Trivy` exits with code 0 even when security issues are detected.
Use the `--exit-code` option if you want to exit with a non-zero exit code.

```
$ trivy image --exit-code 1 python:3.4-alpine3.9
```

This option is useful for CI/CD. In the following example, the test will fail only when a critical vulnerability is found.

```
$ trivy image --exit-code 0 --severity MEDIUM,HIGH ruby:2.4.0
$ trivy image --exit-code 1 --severity CRITICAL ruby:2.4.0
```

## Exit on EOL

Sometimes you may surprisingly get 0 vulnerabilities in an old image:

- Enabling `--ignore-unfixed` option while all packages have no fixed versions.
- Scanning a rather outdated OS (e.g. Ubuntu 10.04).

An OS at the end of service/life (EOL) usually gets into this situation, which is definitely full of vulnerabilities.
`--exit-on-eol` can fail scanning on EOL OS with a non-zero code.
This flag is available with the following targets.

- Container images (`trivy image`)
- Virtual machine images (`trivy vm`)
- SBOM (`trivy sbom`)
- Root filesystem (`trivy rootfs`)

```
$ trivy image --exit-on-eol 1 alpine:3.10
```

This option is useful for CI/CD.
The following example will fail when a critical vulnerability is found or the OS is EOSL:

```
$ trivy image --exit-code 1 --exit-on-eol 1 --severity CRITICAL alpine:3.16.3
```

## Mirror Registries

!!! warning "EXPERIMENTAL"
    This feature might change without preserving backwards compatibility.

Trivy supports mirrors for [remote container images](../target/container_image.md#container-registry) and [databases](./db.md).

To configure them, add a list of mirrors along with the host to the [trivy config file](../references/configuration/config-file.md#registry-options).

!!! note
    Use the `index.docker.io` host for images from `Docker Hub`, even if you don't use that prefix.

Example for `index.docker.io`:
```yaml
registry:
  mirrors:
    index.docker.io:
     - mirror.gcr.io
```

### Registry check procedure
Trivy uses the following registry order to get the image:

- mirrors in the same order as they are specified in the configuration file
- source registry

In cases where we can't get the image from the mirror registry (e.g. when authentication fails, image doesn't exist, etc.) - Trivy will check other mirrors (or the source registry if all mirrors have already been checked).

Example:
```yaml
registry:
  mirrors:
    index.docker.io:
     - mirror.with.bad.auth // We don't have credentials for this registry
     - mirror.without.image // Registry doesn't have this image
```

When we want to get the image `alpine` with the settings above. The logic will be as follows:

1. Try to get the image from `mirror.with.bad.auth/library/alpine`, but we get an error because there are no credentials for this registry.
2. Try to get the image from `mirror.without.image/library/alpine`, but we get an error because this registry doesn't have this image (but most likely it will be an error about authorization).
3. Get the image from `index.docker.io` (the original registry).

## Check for updates

Trivy periodically checks for updates and notices, and displays a message to the user with recommendations.  
Updates checking is non-blocking and has no impact on scanning time, performance, results, or any user experience aspect besides displaying the message.  
You can disable updates checking by specifying the `--skip-version-check` flag.

## Telemetry

Trivy collected usage data for product improvement. More details in the [Telemetry document](../advanced/telemetry.md).
You can disable telemetry collection using the `--disable-telemetry` flag.
