Identify your scan target. (3) Click Assets to select a combination of asset groups and IP addresses to scan. Note You can also launch vulnerability scans on Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs). This option is not enabled for your subscription by default. A Manager user can enable this feature by going to Scans > Setup > DNS Tracking and checking the “Enable DNS Tracking for hosts” option. When defining the scan target you’ll enter FQDNs in the new FQDN input field. FQDN input field supports maximum 4000 characters. FQDNs can be entered in combination with asset groups and IPs/ranges but not with asset tags. The scanned FQDN must resolve to an IP address in your VM account to successfully scan it and view the results. Scan Result report shows the FQDN information in the Report Summary section. - OR - (4) Click Tags to select one or more asset tags to scan. Use IP Network Range Tags Include - This option lets you scan all IPs defined in a tag with the IP address tag rule even if the IPs don't already have the tag assigned to them. We'll apply the tag to each IP that doesn't already have it. Use IP Network Range Tags Exclude - This option lets you exclude all IPs defined in a tag with the IP address tag rule. You can include or exclude hosts having certain tags. Simply, click Add Tag and select tags to include or exclude in the scan. That's it - just click Launch and you're done!
