Issue

When attempting to perform a local data scan across all agents, it appears only the initially selected agent is being scanned. The user is selecting all agents and paths, but the scan only targets the first selected agent.

Solution

Key Points

No Group Scan for Data Scans

• Data scans in CYRISMA do not support group scans where all agents are scanned simultaneously.
• Each agent must be configured with its own scan schedule.

Options to Set Up Scans

• Option 1 (Recommended):
  Set up a data scan for each agent individually. You can configure recurring scan schedules to reduce manual effort.
• Option 2 (Not Recommended):
  Use one machine (agent) to scan multiple targets by setting up the scan using local credentials for the other machines. While this approach is feasible, it may significantly increase scan time and is not optimal.

Steps to Use Option 2 (Scanning Multiple Machines via One Agent)

1. Select the agent from which the scan will originate.
2. Input the local credentials for the target machines.
3. Configure the scan paths for the remote machines.
4. Submit the scan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I group all agents to perform a single data scan?
No, data scans do not support a group scan feature. Each agent must be scheduled for scanning individually.

Q: Can I use one machine to scan others?
Yes, you can configure one machine to scan multiple targets remotely, provided the local credentials for the target machines are set up. However, this approach may take longer and is less efficient than setting up scans for each agent.

Q: Can I reduce the effort required for setting up individual scans?
Yes, by creating a recurring schedule for scans, you can automate future scans for each agent.
