Recent Scans

This document is for:

Invicti Standard, Invicti Enterprise On-Premises, Invicti Enterprise On-Demand

Recent Scans is a page on Invicti Enterprise that displays scans initiated by the scanner whatever their scan status is.

(In Invicti Standard, recently completed scans are accessible from the File menu instead.)

• You can filter the Recent Scans list using multiple filters and use more than one per column (see Column Filters).
• If the column has been filtered, the magnifier icon on the column displays in gray.

Filtering scans

Column Filters

All columns can be filtered, using a highly customizable combination of Fields, Operators, and Values. Each is explained below. This is useful for teams that manage the security of many websites, website groups, and scans.

Filters & Values

This table lists the Filters and Values available for the columns listed above. Select an option to filter the list by that criterion.

• In many cases, Values can be entered into the Value field; in others, the Value can be selected from a dropdown.
• You can enter more than one filter at a time.

Filter	Description	Value (Dropdown Options)
Website	Select to filter by the website Name as defined in the New Website window.	Enter a value.
Path	Select to filter by the Path part of the Target URL.	Enter a value.
Scan Profile	Select to filter by Scan Profile.	Enter a value.
Scan Profile Default	Select to filter by Scan Profile Default.	Enter a value.
Result	Select to filter by the scan status. You can combine this filter with the Failure Reason one to narrow the results.	The dropdown options are: - Archiving: Results are archived when the scan is finished - Canceled - Completed - Delayed: You can view which scans have exceeded the default Maximum Scan Duration limit of 48 hours, for example - Failed: You can use this value to see the various reasons scans have failed, for example, unreachable host, unresolvable domain - Paused: Scans can be paused or resumed manually anytime in Invicti Enterprise. The Scan Time Window feature of Invicti Enterprise can pause scans at predefined times (e.g. business hours). You can use this value to see which scans are in the Paused state. - Pausing: Invicti Enterprise uses this temporary state while waiting for the completion of tasks. You can use this value to see which scans are in the Pausing status. - Queued: Invicti Enterprise On-demand offers scalability by enabling scans on several targets at once. On launch, Invicti Enterprise queues the scan and begins as soon as an agent is available. - Resuming - Scanning

Operator

This table lists and explains the Operators available for filtering columns. They work in conjunction with the Field, Operator, and Value.

Operator	Description
Equal	This operator can be used for exact matching. For example, if filtered by the Target URL http://www.example.com/, the filtered list of results would not also list http://api.example.com.
Not Equal	This operator can be used to exclude some results based on exactly matching. For example, if filtered by the Target URL of http://www.example.com/, the filtered list of results would exclude scans for that one.
Contains	This operator can be used to include results if the filtered column contains the value. It does not matter where the value is. For example, you could filter for the word 'production'.
Not Contains	This operator can be used to exclude certain results on the Recent Scans page.
Starts with	This operator can be used to filter for columns that begin with the value. For example, you could filter for Website fields that begin with the 'https://' scheme.
Ends with	This operator can be used to filter for columns that end with the value. For example, you could filter for Website Name fields ending with 'Staging'.
Less than	This operator can be used to filter columns that contain numeric and date-time values rather than string values. For example Initiate Time, Duration, or Finish Time.
Less than or equal	This operator can be used to filter columns that contain numeric and date-time values rather than string values. For example Initiate Time, Duration, or Finish Time.
