Viewing the Status Of a Vulnerability Scan

The Scan Schedule window provides administrators a status view for when each scanner is scheduled to collect vulnerability assessment data for asset in the network.

The name of each scan is displayed, along with the CIDR range, port or port range, priority, status, and next run time.

Table 1: Scan Schedule Status
Column name	Description
VA Scanner	Displays the name of the schedule scan.
CIDR	Displays the CIDR address ranges that are included in the vulnerability data import when the scan schedule starts.
Ports	Displays the port ranges that are included in the vulnerability data import when the scan schedule starts. Scan schedules are capable of starting a remote scan on a remote vulnerability appliance for specific vendors. For example, NMap or Nessus, or Nessus Scan Results Importer, then the ports listed in the Ports column are the ports contained in the scan. For most scanners, the port range is not considered when requesting asset information from a scanner. For example, nCircle IP360 and Qualys scanners report vulnerabilities on all ports, but require you to specify what port information to pull from the full report for display in the user interface.
Priority	Displays the priority of the scan. Scans schedules with a high priority are queued above in priority and run before low priority scans.
Status	Displays the current status of the scan. Each status field contains unique information about the scan status. New scans can be edited until the state changes. Pending scans must wait for another scan to complete. In progress scans provide a percentage complete with tooltip information about the data import. Completed scans provide a summary of the vulnerabilities imported or any partial imports of data that occurred. Failed scans provide an error message on why the vulnerabilities failed to import.
Last Finish Time	Displays the last time the scan successfully imported vulnerability records for the schedule.
Next Run Time	Displays the next time the scan is scheduled to import vulnerability data. Scan schedules that display `Never` in the user interface are one time scans.

The status column for each scanner provides a status message about each successful vulnerability import or failure.
