Scan Status

In Tenable PCI ASV, depending on its state, scans can have following status values:

Note: The percentage on the Tenable PCI ASV scan progress indicator represents the percentage of completed tasks in the scan. A scan with one task shows 0% progress until the scan completes.

Tip: For Tenable PCI ASV scans, you can hover over the scan status to view more status information in a pop-up window, such as the number of targets scanned and the elapsed or final scan time. The window shows different information based on the scan's current status.

Status	Description
Tenable PCI ASV Scans Tip: The typical Tenable PCI ASV scan status flow is as follows: Initializing, Running, Publishing Results, Completed.
Aborted	Either the latest run of the scan is incomplete because Tenable PCI ASV or the scanner encountered problems during the run, or the scan remained queued without running for four or more hours. For more information about the problems encountered during the run, view the scan warnings.
Canceled	At user request, Tenable PCI ASV successfully stopped the latest run of the scan.
Completed	The latest run of the scan is complete.
Empty	The scan is either empty (the scan is new or has yet to run) or pending (Tenable PCI ASV is processing a request to run the scan).
Imported	A user imported the scan. You cannot run imported scans. Scan history is unavailable for imported scans.
Pausing	A user paused the scan, and Tenable PCI ASV is processing the action.
Paused	At user request, Tenable PCI ASV successfully paused active tasks related to the scan. The paused tasks continue to fill the task capacity of the scanner that the tasks were assigned to. Tenable PCI ASV does not dispatch new tasks from a paused scan job. If the scan remains in a paused state for more than 14 days, the scan times out. Tenable PCI ASV then aborts the related tasks on the scanner and categorizes the scan as aborted.
Pending	Tenable PCI ASV has the scan queued to launch and is assigning scan tasks to the assigned sensors. Note: Tenable PCI ASV aborts scans that remain in Pending status for more than four hours. If Tenable PCI ASV aborts your scan, modify your scan schedules to reduce the number of overlapping scans. If you still have issues, contact Tenable Support.
Publishing Results	Tenable PCI ASV processes and stores the scan results data for you to view and use in the Tenable PCI ASV user interface. The Publishing Results status begins once the Running status reaches 100%.
Resuming	Tenable PCI ASV is in the process of restarting tasks after the user resumed the scan. Tenable PCI ASV instructs the scanner to start the tasks from the point at which the scan was paused. If Tenable PCI ASV or the scanner encounters problems when resuming the scan, the scan fails, and Tenable PCI ASV updates the scan status to aborted.
Running	The scan is currently running. While this status is shown, the scan's sensors complete their assigned scan tasks, and Tenable PCI ASV processes the scan results. The progress bar shows next to the status when a scan is running. The progress bar shows the percentage of the completed tasks.
Stopping	A user stopped the scan, and Tenable PCI ASV is processing the action.
Tenable Web App Scanning Scans
Aborted	The scanner did not complete the scan's latest scan job. Tenable Web App Scanning may abort a scan job because the job was queued without running for more than four hours, or because Tenable Web App Scanning, or the scanner, encountered other problems and aborted the scan. For more information about why Tenable Web App Scanning aborted a scan, view the scan notes.
Canceled	At the user's request, Tenable Web App Scanning successfully stopped the latest scan job.
Completed	The scanner completed the scan's latest scan job.
Never Run	The scan is either empty (the scan is new or has yet to run) or pending (Tenable Web App Scanning is processing a request to run the scan).
Pending	Tenable Web App Scanning has the scan queued to launch. Note: Tenable Web App Scanning aborts scans that remain in Pending status for more than four hours. If Tenable Web App Scanning aborts your scan, modify your scan schedules to reduce the number of overlapping scans. If you still have issues, contact Tenable Support.
Processing	The scan has completed but the results are still being processed. The scanner is processing vulnerability findings, attachments, notes, and other metadata.
Running	The scanner is currently running the scan.
Stopping	The scanner acknowledged the stop request and is in the process of stopping.
