Recent Scans

Recent Scans is a window in Netsparker Enterprise that displays scans initiated by the scanner whatever their scan status is.

(In Netsparker 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.

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 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.
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 Netsparker Enterprise. The Scan Time Window feature of Netsparker 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: Netsparker 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: Netsparker Enterprise On-demand offers scalability by enabling scans on several targets at once. On launch, Netsparker queues the task to start the scanning engine. If the agent is busy with another task, the new task is queued. You can use this value to see which scans are in the Queued status. Resuming: Netsparker Enterprise uses Resuming mode to conduct some processes in between the Pausing and Scanning statuses. You can use this value to see which scans are in the Resuming status. Scanning: This is the normal status of a scan while it is going through the Crawling or Attacking stages. You can use this value to see which scans are in the Scanning status.
Scan Policy	Select to filter by the Scan Policy used in the scan (see Overview of Scan Policies).	Enter a value.
Initiate Time	Select to filter by the Initiate Time.	Select a date from the calendar picker.
Last State Changed	Until a scan has been completed, it will pass through different Statuses. This is the last date and time the state was changed.	Select a date from the calendar picker.

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 you 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 you 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'.
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.
Greater 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.
Greater 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.

Value

This table lists the dropdown values available for filtering columns.

Value	Description
Agent is unavailable	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to agents being unavailable will be shown in the grid.
Connection Timed Out	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to the connection times out will be shown in the grid.
Domain resolution failed	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to domain resolution failure will be shown in the grid.
Failed to Connect to Proxy	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to failure in connection to proxy will be shown in the grid.
Host was unavailable	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to an unavailable host will be shown in the grid.
Login Failed	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to the login failure will be shown in the grid.
Maximum Logout Exceeded	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to Maximum Logout Exceeded will be shown in the grid. The maximum Logout issue occurs when the scanner loses authentication frequently and needs to login again and again. After some attempts the scanner decides that it is not possible to continue the scan so it stops the scan operation.
Report Policy Not Found	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to not finding report policy will be shown in the grid.
Scan Policy Not Found	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to not finding scan policy will be shown in the grid.
The Scan Is Not Allowed	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to The Scan is Not Allowed. Allowance is decided if the target IP address or resolved IP address of the target is in the accepted range.
Unable to find scan files	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to failure to find the scan files will be shown in the grid. This option only applies for Retest and Incremental Scans.
Unable to load scan session	This value can be used to filter down Recent Scans results according to Failure Reasons. As the name implies, when selected only failed scans due to Unable to load scan session will be shown in the grid. This option only applies for Retest and Incremental Scans.
