Use this page to configure a scan.
All discovery scans are configured in a similar manner. The scan options are selected in the upper Scan Details pane. The lower pane has multiple tabs for new scans.
We recommend creating schedule, repository, filter, and rule set definitions before configuring scans. If repositories require credentials for access, create the necessary credentials definitions as well.
Option | Definition |
|---|---|
Name | Enter a unique name for the scan. This field is required. |
Scan Type | Select an option from the drop-down list. |
Discovery Server | Select an entry from the selection window. This field is required.
|
Scheduler | Select an entry from the selection window. This field is required. |
Throttling | Limits the bandwidth of the scan. When the checkbox is selected, you can change the default value. |
Files List (All scan types except Database) | Select this option if you want to display Data Inventory information. If you deselect this option, you can view the counters on the Data Analytics page, but cannot expand them to display the detailed information. For large repositories, we recommend using this option with filters to limit the impact on the ePO - On-prem database. |
Tables Information (Database scans only) | Checkbox to store the database table information in Data Inventory. |
Incident Handling (Remediation scans only) | Use the drop-down list to set the maximum number of incidents to report per scan. Select the checkbox to close the scan if a threshold is exceeded. Range: 100-100,000
|
Report Incident per Record (Database scans only) | Drop-down list to report the maximum number of incidents per DB table. The default is Do not report incidents. You can only edit the drop-down list for remediation scans - inventory and classification scans report by table. |
Signatures (Registration scans only) | Use the drop-down list to set the maximum number of signatures to report per scan. Range: 100.000-100,000,000
|
Error Handling | Use the drop-down list to set the maximum errors to report per scan. Select the checkbox to close the scan if a threshold is exceeded. Range: 100-100,000 |
