Scan Results

The Scan Results page displays scan results and statuses from active scans, agent scans, and agent synchronization jobs .

Note: Tenable Security Center does not include all agent scans in the scan results table. If an agent scan imports scan results identical to the previous agent scan, Tenable Security Center omits the most recent agent scan from the scan results table.

Note: If you added the parent node of a Tenable Nessus Manager cluster as a scanner in Tenable Security Center, Tenable Security Center displays scan results for all child nodes. For more information, see Clustering in the Tenable Nessus User Guide.

Note: For each agent synchronization job result for a child node, Tenable Security Center imports a metadata record containing no vulnerability data. This metadata record appears as a second result on the Scan Results page. To prevent Tenable Security Center from importing the metadata file, configure and launch agent scans from Tenable Security Center, as described in Agent Scans.

For more information, see Manage Scan Results.
