Viewing scan errors

You can view a list of all the paths on which a scan has failed. In the Workspace tab tree-view panel, the folder icon displays a red cross mark for the paths on which a scan has failed. The scan errors displayed are from the latest scan completed on the share.

To view scan errors

  1. Do one of the following to view the details of the scan errors on paths:

    • In the Management Console, click Settings > Scanning.

      The Overview sub-tab of the Scanning dashboard displays the paths on which scans have failed in the last 24 hours.

    • On the Scan Status sub-tab of the Scanning dashboard, click the Select Action drop-down corresponding to a path and select Scan Errors.

    • Navigate to the Monitored Shares, Monitored Site Collections,Monitored Repositories, or Monitored Cloud Account sub-tab on the data source details page; click the Select Action drop-down corresponding to a path, and select Scan Errors to view the failed scans on that path.

  2. On the Scan Errors page, review the time of the error, the error code, and the possible cause of the error.
