Scans
This dashboard panel contains a graph of host scans done per hour, per day or total scans based on a date range. Additional filters allow you to limit the data as needed. This data is similar to the data displayed in the Scan Results View. However, it is retrieved from a different database table that is not affected by the scheduled archive and purge of scans. As a result the Scan Results View and the Scans Panel may display different data. See Scan results view for additional information.
Display scans
- Click in the Chart drop-down and select the scans to be displayed. Options include Scans Per Day, Scans Per Hour,or Total Scans.
-
Enter date information for the scan chart selected. Date information required varies depending on the chart you selected:
- If you selected Scans Per Day, enter the end date of the date range. The panel automatically calculates back 24 days. Days begin/end at midnight.
- If you selected Scans Per Hour, enter a single date. The panel displays 24 hours.
- If you selected Total Scans, enter a start and end date. The panel aggregates the totals across the entire date range.
-
Use the check boxes across the bottom of the panel to limit the number of scans by results. Options include:
- Passed—Scans that ran and the host passed.
- Failed—Scans that ran and the host failed. This includes scans that are set to Failure Pending.
- Script Failed—Scan tried to run but failed before determining the host's state.
- Warning—Scan determined that the host failed the scan policy and an administrator received a warning.
Hosts may need to be scanned more than once if they fail the initial scan. Therefore, each scan does not represent a single host.
- To filter data displayed on the panel, click the Set Filter button.
- Enable one or more filters by marking the boxes with a check mark.

For each filter selected, choose an option in the drop-down menu. See the table below for definitions:
