Sessions
Sessions
Scans are executed in sessions. A session is the complete scanning of one device of the target list. Generally an executing scan consists of as many sessions as it has targets, which can, however, not all be executed at the same time. The number of simultaneously running sessions can be defined in the settings of the Asset Discovery module of the respective scanner.
The Sessions tab displays the following information about the different sessions of the currently executing scan on the scanner:
