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.

Additionally, you can click the hyperlinked number in the Devices Found column to launch the Scan Results report displaying the results of the individual scan as well as specific information about the devices found during that scan.
