If you have labeled your targets, you can start the scans for every target with the same label in one step. This is handy for scanning a whole location, or all targets managed by one IT partner.
Before you start
-
Make sure the targets you want to scan have the label. See Organize your targets with labels.
-
The scan starts immediately. There is no confirmation message, so check which targets carry the label first.
Start the scans
-
In the left-hand menu, under Vulnerability Management, click Targets.
-
Click the Labels tab.
-
(Optional) Click the arrow at the start of the label row to check which targets are linked to it.
-
In the Actions column of the label, click the orange Run button.
While the scans are running, the label shows Scanning instead of the Run button.
Follow the progress
Go back to the Targets tab. A Scans in Progress section appears at the top with every target that is being scanned, and the status of each scan step (for example Starting or Queued). When a scan is running, the target in the Monitored Targets list shows a square button instead of the orange run button.
When the scan has finished, the target moves back to the list and the Last scan date is updated.
Good to know
-
Scans only start for targets that have the label.
-
You can also start a scan for a single target with the orange button next to it in the Monitored Targets list.
