Run the Patch Scan Report

This report shows all patch scan data for your system package that is up to date. It is similar to the patch scan screen found within your system package. It just shows the data separated away so it is easier to focus on your patch data specifically. Enter a partial or full hostname to filter the results by devices as well.

Where the Data Comes From

This data is an accumulation of all patch scans uploaded into the system package area. It parses *.nessus credential patch scan results (or uncredentialed if allowed in System Package Preferences), Rapid7 Nexpose .xml patch scan results, or the .json generic patch vulnerability results and separates out all the plugin (patch) data and parses it to put into the patch scan database. It comes back sorted by severity (critical, then high, then medium, then low, then informational) so you can quickly see the impact and risk associated with all the patch data in the system package.

As you upload patch scan results it adds new plugin data, updates older ones, and updates the patch data score.

Why Run this Report

This report allows you to focus on just patch scan data within your system package and quickly search it, sort it, and find answers to questions. It also gives you actionable data by showing the severity and the data quickly.
