# Insights and analytics
Insights and analytics provides usage analytics for [Docker Verified Publisher
(DVP)](https://www.docker.com/partners/programs/) and [Docker-Sponsored Open
Source (DSOS)](https://www.docker.com/community/open-source/application/#)
images on Docker Hub. This includes self-serve access to image and extension
usage metrics for a desired time span. You can see the number of image pulls by
tag or by digest, geolocation, cloud provider, client, and more.
- [DVP program](#dvp-program): Usage analytics for Docker Verified Publisher
organizations, including tiered reports and report configuration.
- [DSOS & Legacy DVP programs](#dsos--legacy-dvp-programs): Usage analytics for
Docker-Sponsored Open Source publishers, and for existing customers on the
deprecated Legacy DVP program.
The Legacy DVP program applies to existing customers who have not yet renewed
to DVP Core. The DVP Legacy program is deprecated and will be retired. Contact
your Docker sales representative or
[Docker](https://www.docker.com/partners/programs/) for more information.
## DVP program
All members of an organization have access to the analytics data. Members can
access analytics data in the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) web interface.
### Available reports
The following reports are available for download as CSV files, based on your
organization's DVP subscription tier:
- Starter tier
- [Summary](#summary-report)
- Growth tier
- [Summary](#summary-report)
- [Trends](#trends-report)
- [Domain-level reports](#domain-level-reports)
- [Benchmark](#benchmark-report)
The Domain-level reports and Benchmark report each provide a different slice
of reporting on consuming domains:
- Domain-level reports show how those domains use your own images, and which
other images they use alongside yours.
- Benchmark shows how those domains use the specific images you've configured to
benchmark against, such as a single repository.
After your organization is provisioned for DVP analytics, it takes up to one
week for the first reports to become available.
#### Summary report
The summary report provides high-level usage metrics aggregated across all your
Docker Hub content, organized by namespace and repository. This report gives you
a comprehensive overview of your image portfolio performance, helping you
understand which repositories, tags, and specific image versions are most
popular with your users.
You can use this report to answer questions like:
- Which of my repositories are getting the most usage?
- How do different image tags compare in terms of adoption?
- What's the ratio of actual downloads versus version checks across my
portfolio?
- Which specific image digests are being pulled most frequently?
- How has overall usage changed over time for my entire image collection?

#### Image pulls summary data
There are two levels of summary data available:
- Repository-level, a summary of every namespace and repository
- Tag- or digest-level, a summary of every namespace, repository, and reference
(tag or digest)
The summary data formats contain the following data points for the selected time
span:
| Data point | Description | Date added |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| Unique IP address | Number of unique IP addresses, see [Privacy](#privacy). | January 1, 2022 |
| Pull by tag | GET request, by digest or by tag. | January 1, 2022 |
| Pull by digest | GET or HEAD request by digest, or HEAD by digest. | January 1, 2022 |
| Version check | HEAD by tag, not followed by a GET | January 1, 2022 |
| Owner | The name of the organization that owns the repository. | December 19, 2022 |
#### Image pulls action classification rules
An action represents the multiple request events associated with a
`docker pull`. Pulls are grouped by category to make the data more meaningful
for understanding user behavior and intent. The categories are:
- Version check
- Pull by tag
- Pull by digest
Automated systems frequently check for new versions of your images. Being able
to distinguish between "version checks" in CI versus actual image pulls by a
user grants you more insight into your users' behavior.
The following table describes the rules applied for determining intent behind
pulls. To provide feedback or ask questions about these rules,
[fill out the Google Form](https://forms.gle/nb7beTUQz9wzXy1b6).
| Starting event | Reference | Followed by | Resulting action | Use case(s) | Notes |
| :------------- | :-------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| HEAD | tag | N/A | Version check | User already has all layers existing on local machine | This is similar to the use case of a pull by tag when the user already has all the image layers existing locally, however, it differentiates the user intent and classifies accordingly. |
| GET | tag | N/A | Pull by tag | User already has all layers existing on local machine and/or the image is single-arch | |
| GET | tag | Get by different digest | Pull by tag | Image is multi-arch | Second GET by digest must be different from the first. |
| HEAD | tag | GET by same digest | Pull by tag | Image is multi-arch but some or all image layers already exist on the local machine | The HEAD by tag sends the most current digest, the following GET must be by that same digest. There may occur an additional GET, if the image is multi-arch (see the next row in this table). If the user doesn't want the most recent digest, then the user performs HEAD by digest. |
| HEAD | tag | GET by the same digest, then a second GET by a different digest | Pull by tag | Image is multi-arch | The HEAD by tag sends the most recent digest, the following GET must be by that same digest. Since the image is multi-arch, there is a second GET by a different digest. If the user doesn't want the most recent digest, then the user performs HEAD by digest. |
| HEAD | tag | GET by same digest, then a second GET by different digest | Pull by tag | Image is multi-arch | The HEAD by tag sends the most current digest, the following GET must be by that same digest. Since the image is multi-arch, there is a second GET by a different digest. If the user doesn't want the most recent digest, then the user performs HEAD by digest. |
| GET | digest | N/A | Pull by digest | User already has all layers existing on local machine and/or the image is single-arch | |
| HEAD | digest | N/A | Pull by digest | User already has all layers existing on their local machine | |
| GET | digest | GET by different digest | Pull by digest | Image is multi-arch | The second GET by digest must be different from the first. |
| HEAD | digest | GET by same digest | Pull by digest | Image is single-arch and/or image is multi-arch but some part of the image already exists on the local machine | |
| HEAD | digest | GET by same digest, then a second GET by different digest | Pull by Digest | Image is multi-arch | |
#### Extension Summary data
There are two levels of extension summary data available:

### Changes in data over time
The insights and analytics service is continuously improved to increase the
value it brings to publishers. Some changes might include adding new data
points, or improving existing data to make it more useful.
Changes in the dataset, such as added or removed fields, generally only apply
from the date of when the field was first introduced, and going forward.
Refer to the tables in the [Data points](#data-points) section to see from which
date a given data point is available.
## Privacy
This section contains information about privacy-protecting measures that ensures
consumers of content on Docker Hub remain completely anonymous.
> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> Docker never shares any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as part of
> analytics data.
The image pulls summary dataset includes unique IP address count. This data point only
includes the number of distinct unique IP addresses that request an image.
Individual IP addresses are never shared.
The image pulls raw dataset includes user IP domains as a data point. This is
the domain name associated with the IP address used to pull an image. If the IP
type is `business`, the domain represents the company or organization associated
with that IP address (for example, `docker.com`). For any other IP type that's
not `business`, the domain represents the internet service provider or hosting
provider used to make the request. On average, only about 30% of all pulls
classify as the `business` IP type (this varies between publishers and images).
