Overview

Scanners are the execution engines responsible for performing vulnerability scans across your infrastructure. They allow you to scale scanning operations, distribute workloads, and ensure reliable coverage across internal and external environments.

This page provides a real-time view of all available scanners.

​

Key Details

• Scanner Name — Identifier for the scanner
• Status — Active or Offline
• Endpoint — Scanner URL or host
• Last Seen — Last heartbeat timestamp
• Vulnerability Summary — Findings detected by the scanner

​

Scanner Actions

​

Available Actions

• Download Scanner
  Deploy a scanner within your infrastructure
• Create Scanner
  Register a new scanner instance

These actions allow you to horizontally scale scanning capacity.

​

Create Scanner

To register a scanner:

1. Provide a Scanner Name
2. Enter the Scanner URL / Endpoint
3. Ensure the scanner is reachable
4. Click Create Scanner

​

Scanner Status

• Active — Scanner is online and operational
• Offline / Dead — Scanner is unreachable or not responding

Monitoring scanner health ensures reliable scan execution.

---

​

Use Cases

• Deploy scanners inside private networks
• Scan internal infrastructure securely
• Distribute scans across multiple regions
• Improve performance with parallel scanning

---

​

Why This Matters
