What happens if not all assets are scanned in a scan window?

Depending on the scope and start and end times for a scan, all assets may not be scanned during the defined scan window. In this scenario, the assets that were not scanned will be prioritized to scan first in the next scan window.

Note: This article only applies to the Alert Logic Managed Detection & Response platform.

You can identify how many assets are scanned during the last scan window on the Scan Schedules screen within a deployment. When you click on a scan, a card displays with additional scan information, including the number of assets that were scanned in the last scan.

If you identify that assets are continuously not scanned during a scan window, you may want to change your scan schedules to expand the time window of the scan, reduce the asset scope of the scan, and/or create additional scan schedules to smaller groups of assets at different times.

For more information on managing your scan schedules, refer to our Manage Scan Schedules documentation.
