Failed Scan Status Codes
Troubleshooting with too many potential issues can be a painstaking process. Failed statuses fall into two categories - platform failures and engine failures. Platform failures occur when there is an issue with the Rapid7 Insight Platform. Engine failures occur when there is an issue with the specific Scan Engine that you're attempting to utilize. Status codes help you find a starting point to get your scan back up and running.
If a scan fails to complete, a modal summarizing the potential issue displays the following status codes:
