The Scan History view lists the discovery scan history. Use this view to traceback scans in the timeframe they were made, verify results, and re-run them.

Scan history provides a dashboard-like interface where you can review, re-run, and manage scans.

  • Scan Now. Re-run/initiate a new discovery scan without navigating away from the page.
  • New/Edit/Delete. Manage history log entries by selecting them, then clicking an operation.
  • Cancel. Quit a scan after you kick it off.

The default view of each report contains a grid with the following columns:

  • Name. Discovery scan identifier or profile name.
  • Type. The specific type of action that resulted in the individual Scan History log entry.
  • User. The name of the user account which manually initiated the scan. Note, when a scan is automatically initiated by scheduled discovery, the name of the User displayed is Scheduled.
  • Started. Date and time group when scan was initiated.
  • Status. Network discovery status indicator. For example, Completed.
  • Devices Found. Devices WhatsUp Gold discovery connected to and opened an initial network connection with.
  • Devices Complete. Devices specified either in IP address list or seeded this that yielded discovery results.
  • Devices with Valid Credentials. Number of devices where one or more credential instances in the credential list configured for discovery was successful.
  • Completed Addresses. Total addresses in the specified range scanned for.
  • Responding Addresses. Total addresses in the specified range responding to ping or port Discovery checks.
  • Non-responding Addresses. Total addresses in the specified range not responding to ping or port Discovery checks.
