Scan Failovers

If Tenable Vulnerability Management assigns a scan job to a scanner, and the scanner goes offline while scanning, the following happens:

1. The scan job times out if the assigned scanner does not respond to Tenable Vulnerability Management after two hours.

2. Tenable Vulnerability Management removes the scan job from the scanner and attempts the scan job on another scanner in the same scanner group, or on the same scanner if it comes back online.

3. Tenable Vulnerability Management attempts steps 1 and 2 three times. If the scan job is not completed after three attempts, Tenable Vulnerability Management aborts the scan job.
