Collection

A collection is in essence a container for all the information related to a scan or multiple scans. In the "Infra Management" page a collection refers to the information required to in order to connect to a cloud or local network. When it comes to the "Inventory Management" page, a collection now refers to all the inputs and information required to perform a full scan.

  • Types of Files in a Collection:

    • Master Snapshot
    • Snapshot Config
    • Master Compliance
    • Compliance Test
    • Notifications
    • Other Files

  • Click on a file in the list to view its details.

Managing Collections

  • Deleting Collections: If a collection does not have any associated findings, it can be safely deleted. This option is useful for removing collections that were created by mistake.
  • Archiving Collections: Collections with data should be archived rather than deleted. Archiving helps in maintaining historical records without cluttering the active findings page.
  • Visibility: Archived collections will not appear in the findings page, ensuring a clear view of current and active data.

Remember, the decision to delete or archive should be made carefully, considering the relevance and importance of the data within each collection.
