Description Robb Manes 2017-08-29 14:57:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
While there is an API call to begin scans via SmartState for Virtual Machines (http://manageiq.org/docs/reference/latest/api/reference/vms), there is no API call to do so with containers despite being able to be invoked from the UI.

As a workaround, the container can be directly queried for SmartState Analysis via the console like so:

image = ContainerImage.find_by(:id => id_value) ; image.scan()

However, API access is more desirable for obvious reasons (remote access, etc).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Latest/any version of CFME or MIQ

Additional info:
This was opened as a Request for Feature Enhancement by our own internal Red Hat IT Team, which desires this feature for management of containers.

CFME Version:
5.10.0.16.20180919151347_a0c9e02


Verification steps using  miq-rest-api-client-python:

#get the provider crud object
ocp = providers.get_crud('ocp-39-hawk')

# Get the REST Entity
image = ocp.appliance.rest_api.collections.container_images.get(name='dotnet/dotnet-20-runtime-rhel7')

image
Out[16]: <Entity u'https://10.8.197.248/api/container_images/150'>


#verified the entity has the scan action:
image.action.all
Out[5]: [u'scan']

#Initiated the SmartState Analysis Scan
image.action.scan()
Out[4]: <Entity u'https://10.8.197.248/api/container_images/150'

#Verified the scan was successfull
ocp.appliance.rest_api.collections.tasks.all
[<Entity u'https://10.8.197.248/api/tasks/27'>]

task = ocp.appliance.rest_api.collections.tasks.get(id='27')

task
<Entity u'https://10.8.197.248/api/tasks/27'>

task.name
u"Container Image Analysis: 'dotnet/dotnet-20-runtime-rhel7'"

task.state
u'Finished'

task.status
u'Ok'

#Verified the 'last scan attempt on'
