Interpreting the Refresh Action Status in the Asset List
In this section, we will delve into understanding the various statuses associated with the refresh action in the asset list view. This will help users effectively monitor the progress of their scans.
The Status Column
In the asset list view, you will notice a dedicated "Status" column. This column plays a pivotal role in indicating the current status of a scan.
Two primary statuses are associated with the refresh action:
- Success: When the scan has been executed successfully and all necessary data has been collected, the status will be marked as "Success." This indicates that the refresh action has achieved its objective without any issues.
- Scheduled: Conversely, when a scan has been scheduled to run but has not yet been completed, the status will be labeled as "Scheduled." This signifies that the refresh action has been initiated and is in the queue to be executed.
Understanding the Transition
It is essential to comprehend how the status transitions occur during the execution of the refresh action:
- Initiation: When a user triggers the refresh action, the asset's status is initially set to "Scheduled." This implies that the scan request has been received and is waiting to be processed.
- Completion: Once the scan process is successfully completed, the status transitions from "Scheduled" to "Success." This change reflects that the refresh action has fulfilled its task, and the asset's data is now up to date.
By keeping an eye on the "Status" column in the asset list view, users can easily monitor the progress and outcome of their refresh actions. The "Success" status indicates a completed and successful scan, while the "Scheduled" status represents an ongoing or queued scan. Understanding these statuses will enable users to effectively manage and track the refresh actions within their system.
