The Instance Scan dashboard is a system wide visual representation of the health of your instance. The dashboard helps you to manage and analyze the results of full scan against your instance.

The dashboard offers several options to filter your search results to find the exact check finding that might be causing some issues. The Instance Scan Category is the filter picker that shows all the categories of all the checks that were scanned. You can select the type of scan category that you want the dashboard to display as a part of the scan results. Instance Scan Priority helps you to select the priority level of the results to decide which scan results must be addressed first. This priority level is often referred to as the rating level of the scans.

Note: The dashboard is only applicable for full scans. The Instance Scan Category is only available if you have data or a finding in the result set that are applicable to the categories.

For example, you can use the dashboard to compare the results of the check findings. If you see a sudden change in the number of check findings, select the particular scan result from the Scan Results List.

The list also indicates the source from which the finding has been retrieved. You can export the list view data to an external source such as a .csv file or an .xlsv file for further performance comparison and analysis.
