Captured data
The scan creates assets of these two types:
How the detail pages of the types are structured is described in
Databases.
Setting up the job
The wizard follows the standard path Basics › Targets › Schedule › Summary—see Creating a Scan Job. The Targets step is what sets this module apart. Each row carries four columns:
The Credentials column may stay empty. The scan then runs under the gateway’s
service account, and that account needs the rights under
Permissions. An entry in Credentials for all targets applies
to every row without an assignment of its own.
The scan captures system databases only when the module setting
Collect System Databases is on; it is off by default. Where the module
settings are is described in
Creating a Scan Job.
