Launch a Scan
In addition to configuring Schedule settings for a scan, you can manually start a scan run.
Note: You cannot create and launch scans, create or view policies or plugin rules, or use the upgrade assistant while Tenable Nessus compiles plugins.
To launch a scan:
-
In the top navigation bar, click Scans.
The My Scans page appears.
-
In the scans table, in the row of the scan you want to launch, click the button.
Tenable Nessus launches the scan.
What to do next:
If you need to stop a scan manually, see Stop a Running Scan.
