info

To create a scan schedule, click the New scan schedule button. For more information, refer to the Recurring scans document.

Schedule frequency

The following steps apply to scheduled and recurring scans.

1. Specify the Start date.
2. Specify the Frequency. The options are daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, and custom.

• If you selected custom, create your own custom schedule using the Repeats every fields. Read more about custom scan schedule example in the following section.

3. When opening the scan details, you're notified that the scan has been scheduled for a certain date and time.

4. All your scheduled scans are listed on the DAST scan schedules page.

Scheduling best practice

Don't configure all scheduled scans to start at the exact same time. Stagger start times across scanners. Simultaneous scan starts increase the likelihood of scheduler scan issues.

Custom scan schedule example

The custom option under Frequency enables you to tailor the scanning schedule according to your specific requirements.

For example, if you wish to conduct a scan every two weeks on two specific days, such as Mondays and Fridays, you can utilize the custom settings to define this pattern accurately.

You can alter this to have a scan run every week, twice a week, every 3 months, or every 5 years.

Bulk actions

Enable the checkboxes by scan targets to access the following bulk actions:

• Pause selected scans.
• Resume selected scans.
• Add tags to selected scans.
