Scan Log

This log lists the actions performed by AppScan during the current scan.

When a scan runs the Scan Log is updated live, so you can see what AppScan is doing at any moment.

  • On the toolbar, click the Scan Log icon

    The Scan log
The scan log is saved as part of the scan. When a saved scan is loaded, the existing scan log loads too, and data is added to it as scanning continues.
Note: The Scan Log window does not show previous data saved in the scan log. This data can be found only in the actual log file. To view it, open the scan file (.SCAN) using a program that opens compressed files, look for ScanLog.log, and open it using a text viewer.

You can customize the scan log, defining exactly which items are included in it, and control their color in the Scan Log window (see Scan Options tab).

Where relevant, explanations of the messages, and suggested user responses are described in Scan Log messages
