Managing Web Application Scans

Overview

Learn how to manage Web Application Scans from the DeepTraQ dashboard.
This includes running scans on demand, monitoring scan jobs, editing scan configurations, deleting scans, downloading reports, and navigating to findings.

This view helps you track execution status, identify failed jobs, and maintain scan configurations for continuous web application security monitoring.

Prerequisites

• At least one Web Application Scan created
• Target application URL configured and accessible

---

Steps

Run a Scan On Demand

1. Navigate to Web Application Scans → Projects
2. Locate the scan project
3. Click Run to trigger an on-demand scan

You can also configure scheduled or periodic scans during creation or editing.

---

Refresh Scan Status

1. Click Refresh to update the scan state

2. Status will display as:

   • Running
   • Completed
   • Failed

Use this to monitor real-time progress.

---

View Scan Jobs

• Each scan may create multiple jobs depending on:

  • Selected scanner type
  • Scan depth and configuration
  • Application size and endpoints

• Each job represents a set of web security checks (e.g., crawling, vulnerability detection)

The jobs count displayed next to the scan shows total execution units.
If any job fails, refer to troubleshooting guidance to identify the cause.

---

Understand Scan Status Icons

• The status icon represents overall scan health

• Hover over the icon to view the tooltip

• Icon states:

  • Completed
  • Partially successful
  • Failed

A partially successful status indicates one or more failed jobs.

Edit a Scan

1. Click the three-dot menu next to the scan
2. Select Edit
3. Modify scan settings (e.g., target URL, scanner type, scan parameters)
4. Click Save

Changes apply to future scan runs.

---

Delete a Scan

1. Click the three-dot menu
2. Select Delete
3. Type Delete in the confirmation dialog
4. Confirm deletion

This permanently removes:

• All vulnerabilities
• AI summaries
• Triage data
• Scan history
• Reports

This action cannot be undone.

---

Download Reports

To share results with stakeholders:

1. Click the Download icon
2. Select the report type
3. Choose the format
4. Click Download

Reports include vulnerability details, severity, and remediation guidance.

---

Navigate to Findings

• Click the project name (underlined) to open the Findings page
• You will land on the Vulnerabilities tab
• Use filters and search to analyze results
• Use the breadcrumb to return to the projects list

Refer to the Viewing Results documentation for detailed analysis.
