How to manage scan schedules

This guide shows you how to create a Scan schedule and attach it to one or more segments so that AlloyScan keeps your discovery list current automatically.

Prerequisites

  • Site Administrator role to create or delete schedules. Users can only assign existing schedules.
  • At least one segment that you want to scan on a recurring cadence.

Steps

Create a scan schedule

  1. Navigate to Admin Center > Site Settings > Settings > Scan schedules.
  2. Click + New schedule.
  3. Fill in the schedule fields: | Field | Description | |---|---| | Name | A descriptive name (for example, Weekly office subnet). | | Type | Set automatically to Scan. | | Granularity | Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. |
  4. Click Save.

Attach a scan schedule to a segment

  1. Navigate to Network > Segments and open the segment.
  2. In the Segment Open view, set or change the segment's scan schedule. The Next scan time updates to reflect the new schedule.

If you no longer need a schedule, an Administrator can delete it under Admin Center > Site Settings > Settings > Scan schedules. Deletion is destructive — the schedule and its attachments are removed.

Verify

After saving and attaching, the schedule appears in the Scan schedules grid with Last execution and Next execution populated as runs occur. The Segment Open view shows the Schedule name and Next scan timestamp on the left rail.

Note: Details may vary by deployment — observed behavior of scheduled scan logging in the Scan log can differ.
