Viewing the Scan Status of a Discovery Instance

CERT+ discovery feature has been enhanced to include endpoint checks for mTLS enforcement and supported cipher suites. You can enable these checks under Discovery Configuration > Report Settings, as explained here.

When enabled, these settings capture detailed endpoint-level data for each network scan discovery instance and are displayed as the scan status.

To access the scan status:

  1. Go to (Menu) > CERT+ > CERTIFICATE DISCOVERY > Discovery Status > On Demand.
    The Discovery Status : On-demand page is displayed. Results of all previous and active discovery instances triggered are listed here.
    Note: When a scheduled discovery scan is triggered, it is also listed in the on-demand inventory.
  2. To view the summary of a discovery instance, click the discovery instance's Name.
    The summary details of the selected discovery instance are displayed.
  3. To view the scan status for the selected instance, click Scan Status.
    The page is updated to display the scan status details.
