    Affects Versions: 2.2.1
            Reporter: Andy Kurth

It would be useful to automatically retrieve information from image revisions and store this information in the database.

Some examples of information which would be valuable:
-List of all the applications installed
-Patches installed
-Whether or not the firewall is enabled
-Firewall port exceptions
-Users stored in the image

This information would be valuable in many ways:
-Users could specify which application they want to use on the website and a list of images with that application could be displayed.
-Licensing -- if you need to know which images contain a specific application in order to plan license purchases or ensure compliance.
-Security -- Suppose your base image had an extra user account with a weak password.  You could identify any images/revisions created from it and secure them.
