Scan Status

You can see the scan status in the scans list, in the scan results, and in your reports.

Submitted A scan request was submitted, and the scan has not started yet.

Running The scan is in progress.

Finished The scan completed successfully. For a vulnerability scan, the full scan results include vulnerability detection data, if any. For a discovery scan, the full scan results include discovery detection data, if any. In case of Multi-Scan, the parent scan may display the Finished status if one of the child scan ends with any status except Time Limit Reached.

Finished The scan is finished, but authentication was requested and was not successful. Click herehere for help with troubleshooting

Click the View Report button in the scan View window to identify the authentication record(s) used to perform authentication. When you open QID 150008, Web Application Authentication Failed. You’ll find the record(s) in the Results section. If a Selenium script was used for authentication, open QID 150095 to see the Selenium script.

Time Limit Reached (in case of Multi-Scan, applicable only for child scan) The scan duration reached the time limit either due to "Cancel After X hours" setting or Scan Time Limit specified in your subscription (maximum 24 hours by default). The scan result contains all information and vulnerabilities that the scan has been able to collect and detect.

Time Limit Reached The scan ends due to lack of time as defined in the "Cancel At X Time" setting. The scan result does not include any data. In case of Multi-Scan, if one of the child scan ends with Time Limit Reached, the parent scan will display the same status.

Maximum Links Crawled The maximum number of links that you were allowed to crawl have been crawled in the scan. This setting is defined in the Maximum Links to crawl field in the option profile.
