Important information

The Host column indicates the node on which the scan file is generated. The Run Date and Upgrade Date columns display the latest run and upgrade times for the scanner . The Scanner Configuration and Probe Name columns display the configuration file and data flow probe gateway last used by the scanner. There is a hidden column called Scan File Path, which displays the full path of the scan file stored on the Data Flow Probe. To display this column, add it to the visible columns manually using the Select Columns button every time a new report is generated.
