Logs Tab

The Logs tab provides a real-time, detailed trace of the scan's progress and actions taken by the discovery engine on the targeted host(s). It's especially helpful for troubleshooting, validation, and understanding scan behavior.

Details include:

• Host type discovery
  Lines like:

  • 192.168.40.83 is of type Windows → OS fingerprinting succeeded.

  • … is of type UnknownHost → the probe couldn’t fingerprint the OS (often due to closed ports or blocked protocols).

• Sensor invocation
  Examples (you’ll see many of these):

  • Going to invoke sensor Windows WMIC System Info …

  • … Windows Installed Software …

  • … Certificate Check …
    These show which sensor ran for that IP and phase (WMIC/WMI, SSH, SNMP, disk, process, certificate, etc.).

• Responses / outcomes

  • … to process response or Scan completed indicates a successful sensor pass.

  • Timeouts, auth failures, or connection errors will be printed here useful for troubleshooting credentials, firewalls, or network reachability.

  • Confirms execution

  • Highlights errors

  • Sensor processing confirmation
