How to limit duration of the scan and check it's effectiveness?

Thomas | Last updated: Jul 31, 2019 09:11AM UTC

Hi, is it possible to limit the duration of a scan and to check of the scan was able to connect to the right system? Right now some of our scans were running for weeks, the longest for 82 days. It was not obvious if the scan was really able to connect successfully as there was no reported output which is already a bit strange. So we had to cancel it at a certain point. Is there any configuration option to tell the scanner to stop after e.g. a couple of hours? Is there any option to see wether the scanner was able to really communicate with the right system and did chase it's tail by following some proxy or authentication redirects for days?
