Scanning Hosts Manually

Although Sandfly is designed to work automatically to constantly scan for threats, you can also use it to do manual spot checks to make sure everything is OK. Also, you can use Sandfly for incident response by sending it to investigate groups of hosts for signs of compromise all at once.


To scan hosts manually, you will need to select hosts under the Hosts Tab, then select the Sandflies you want to run against the hosts. After you do this, you will select the Scan button and Sandfly will check the hosts and report back results you can view under the Results section.



Selecting Hosts to Scan

The scan selection dialog will walk you through several steps. First, select the hosts you want scanned.
