Description

Some Scans May Idle Network Sentry Processes

Scope
Version: All
Solution

Version: All versions of Network Sentry

Issue: It has been discovered that vulnerability scans run against Network Sentry may idle processes. If this occurs in a High Availability (HA) environment, the Secondary Server(s) will not take control. This is expected behavior because failovers do not occur when Network Sentry processes are idled.

Workaround: Contact support and restart Network Sentry.

Solution: To be addressed in the next Network Sentry release.
