How to transfer an Elements Exposure Management scan target from one scan group to another?
Last updated
Issue:
How to transfer an Elements Exposure Management scan target (asset) from one scan group to another on the Elements Security Center portal's Security configurations > Scans > Network scans page? Is it possible to move the scan target without losing the vulnerability history on the scan target/asset?
Does transferring scan targets create duplicates at next discovery scan and are not found existing scan targets removed?
Or is it just simply better to repopulate scan targets from new asset update sources (without "Avoid duplicates by cross-checking assets originating from any source." option selected) to new scan targets and remove old configuration for discovery and network scans?
Resolution:
To move a scan target to another scan group, follow these steps:
- Log in to the Elements Security Center portal
- Navigate to the Security configurations > Scans > Network scans page
- Select the Group view from the top-right corner
- Expand the scans group where the scan target is currently
- Select the target by clicking the box on the left side of the target (a menu will appear)
- Click Move scans and select the new scan group and click Move scans
Moving the scan target to a different group will not affect its scan history, so you will not lose any vulnerability data.
