Data Synchronization
When Anchore Enterprise runs, the Data Syncer Service will begin to synchronize security feed data from the Anchore Data Service.
CVE data for Linux distributions such as Alpine, CentOS, Debian, Oracle, Red Hat and Ubuntu will be downloaded. The initial sync typically take anywhere from 1-5 minutes depending on your environment and network speed. After that the Data Syncer Service will check every hour if there is new data available from the Anchore Data Service. If it finds a new dataset then it will sync it down immediately.
For air-gapped environments, please see the Air-Gapped documentation.
Checking Feed Status
Feed information can be retrieved through the API and AnchoreCTL.

This command will report list the feeds synchronized by Anchore Enterprise, last sync time and current record count.
Note: Time is reported as UTC, not local time.
Manually initiating feed sync
You can initiate a manual sync of the latest datasets which tells the Data Syncer Service to download the latest feed data from the Anchore Data Service.
# anchorectl feed sync
✔ Synced feeds
This will also inform the policy-engine to sync down the new dataset if the Data Syncer Service has successfully downloaded the latest data.
Forcing a full resync
If there is a scenario where you want the Data Syncer Service to force download the latest datasets and overwrite the existing data, you can use the --force_sync flag.
# ./anchorectl feed sync --force_sync
✔ Synced feeds
