# Check Docker hardening configurations

Verify that Docker hardening settings are configured correctly.

Check your Docker hardening configurations on an engine by running the **`!DockerHardeningCheck`** command in the Case/Issue War Room CLI. The results show the following:

* Non-root User
* Memory
* File descriptors
* CPUs
* PIDs

Before running the command, ensure that your engine is up and running.

1. Update the **`DockerHardeningCheck`** script to run on the engine.
   1. Go to Investigation & Response → Automation → Scripts → DockerHardeningCheck → Settings.
   2. In the Run on field select Single engine and from the list, select the engine you want to run the script.
   3. Save the script.
2. Verify the Docker container has been hardened according to recommended settings. In the Case/Issue War Room CLI, run the **`!DockerHardeningCheck`** command.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/investigate-and-respond-to-cases/automation/engines/install-an-engine/docker/docker-hardening-guide/check-docker-hardening-configurations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
