Scan process and scan results

The scanner control block is located at the top of the Sidebar. It displays the current status of the scanner and additional controls. Certain buttons may appear or disappear depending on the situation.

Task list management menu

After adding and configuring the tasks, click Start scan.

  • Deploy resident agent — installs the resident agent service on a remote computer.

  • Set up resident agent (see Resident agent scan).
  • Set up scanner — opens the Scanner options window.
  • Set up scheduler (see Scheduler).
  • Set up logins — opens the Logins page.
  • Clear all — removes all added tasks.

Scanning

You can’t remove, disable or configure scan tasks during scanning. All disabled tasks are hidden.

The Status column displays the progress of each task and its current state.

The overall scanning progress is displayed in the Sidebar.

Click Stop scan if you want to interrupt the scan process. This operation can take some time.

You don’t have to stop the scan process to add new tasks. Simply create new tasks during the scan: from the Quick Add field, by dragging assets into the scanner area or in any other way. They will be scanned in turn.

You don’t have to monitor the scan process. You can freely switch to another mode and continue working while the scan runs in the background. The icon in the Scanner tab displays the scan progress.

Scan results

When the scan is complete, the results of each task are displayed in the main area.

If an error has occurred while processing any of the tasks, you’ll see an error message in the Status column.

The names and statuses of tasks can be copied by selecting them and pressing Ctrl + C or via the context menu.

The Sidebar displays the overall scan result and additional actions.

  • Back to editing: dismisses the scan results and returns to normal mode.
  • Clear finished: removes all successfully completed tasks, leaving only those that failed or were not completed. This allows you to resolve any errors and run the scan again without rescanning successfully completed tasks.
  • Clear all: removes all scan tasks completely.

After scanning, the Select in tree context menu option allows you to quickly locate the corresponding nodes in the storage. By selecting the desired nodes and switching to the Viewer and Reports or Table reports tabs, you can easily generate reports based on the selected nodes.

This context menu item is available only for nodes that have already been added to the storage. If the node is new and is not yet present in the current storage, the context menu will instead contain the Add to Storage command.
