View Scanner Status

To view your virtual scanner status, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Scans > Appliances,
  2. Select your scanner and you can see the preview pane.

After you add a new appliance, the Qualys user interface can take a few minutes to update. Refresh your browser periodically to ensure that you are seeing the most up-to-date details.
