A scan status report is displayed each time you launch a vulnerability scan. This report is updated every 60 seconds until all targeted hosts have been analyzed. You can safely close this window and let the scan run in the background, and then return to get the latest information about your scan.
Partial results will be available for download when at least one host has been scanned and your scan is still in progress.
Review the segment detail to find out what part of the scan the scanner(s)
are working on and/or have already finished. Each scan will have one or
more scan segments. For each segment you'll see the duration of time when
the scanner(s) were scanning the segment. When a segment is running you'll
see the hosts actively being scanned by the scanner(s). (Note that this
section is only visible when New Scanner Services is enabled for the subscription.)
What is a scan segment?
In the Scanners section you can expand details for any scan segment to see which scanners were used to scan hosts. When an external scanner is used, the scanner's IP address is shown. When a scanner appliance is used, the scanner's friendly name is shown. (Note that this section is only visible when New Scanner Services is enabled for the subscription.)
What does the Total Hosts count indicate?
What does the Host Alive count indicate?
