# Configure Docker images

You can apply more specific fine tuned settings to Docker images, according to the Docker image name or the Docker image name including the image tag. To apply settings to a Docker image name, add the advanced configuration key to the engine configuration file. If you apply Docker image specific settings, they will be used instead of the general **`python.pass.extra.keys`** setting. This overrides the general memory and CPU settings, as needed.

1. Edit the engine configuration file either by editing the `d1.conf` file, or If you installed via Shell, you can edit the configuration in the UI as well as editing the file directly. For details, see [Configure engines](/cortex-xdr-5.x/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/investigate-and-respond-to-cases/automation/engines/configure-engines.md).
2. Add the following key to apply settings to a Docker image name.

   **`"python.pass.extra.keys.<image_name>"`**

   For example, **`"python.pass.extra.keys.demisto/dl"`**.

   * To apply settings to a Docker image name, including the image tag, use **`"python.pass.extra.keys.<image_name>": "<image_tag>"`**.

     For example, **`"python.pass.extra.keys.demisto/dl": "1.4"`**.
   * To set the Docker images **`demisto/dl`** (all tags) to use a higher max memory value of 2g and to remain with the recommended PIDs and ulimit, add the following to the configuration file:**`"python.pass.extra.keys.demisto/dl": "--memory=2g##--ulimit=no- file=1024:8192##--pids-limit=256"`**
3. Save the changes.
4. Restart the demisto service on the engine machine.

   **`sudo systemctl start d1`**

   (Ubuntu) **`sudo service d1 restart`**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
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/configure-docker-images.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
