How to Start an Analysis

You have several options to initiate an analysis of any or all of your projects. Some options allow these analyses to be performed automatically, while others give you the ability to start an analysis at any time you like.

Automatically:

• Automatic analyses can be performed once daily by having monitoring enabled on the project. Monitoring your projects at least once per day is recommended to ensure that no new vulnerabilities have been reported and published for projects that may previously have passed a vulnerability scan. Monitoring can be enabled via the Project Settings page.
• By integrating Ion Channel with your CI/CD process.

Manually:

• Via the Ion Channel UI:
  • On the Project List page:

  • On the Project Analysis Dashboard or Analysis History pages:
