Running Your First Scan

Watch the initial scan closely, confirm the scope, and compare outcomes before scaling up.

Running Your First Scan

Once an agent is connected and a schedule exists, trigger your first scan.

Where To Watch It

Use the Jobs page to watch scan progress and inspect the result.

Jobs

On the Job Details page you can review:

  • status
  • start and finish times
  • files and bytes processed
  • telemetry
  • scan issues and error summaries

What To Look For

A healthy first scan should:

  • complete successfully
  • process the expected root or subpath
  • show a plausible file count and byte count
  • produce no surprising create/update/delete noise on an immediate rescan

Compare With Previous

After a second scan, use Compare to Previous to confirm that:

  • no-change rescans stay quiet
  • real creates, updates, and deletes appear where expected

If Something Looks Wrong

Check:

  • the scan issue summary
  • the error log
  • the root and target path
  • whether permissions or coverage problems were reported
