# Scan health and status reference

#### Scan health

The scan health status indicates the execution health of the scan, whether all scanners completed successfully, encountered errors, or are still executing.

| Scan health             | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Completed**           | All enabled scanners finished execution successfully. The scan results are complete and reflect the full security evaluation of the repository.                                                                                                               |
| **Error**               | The scan failed to complete due to an error. One or more scanners encountered a fatal error that prevented scan completion. Periodic scans with an Error health status can be rescanned.                                                                      |
| **Partially Completed** | The scan completed but one or more scanners failed or were skipped. The scan results are incomplete — some scanner categories may be missing from the issue and finding breakdowns. Periodic scans with a Partially Completed health status can be rescanned. |
| **In Progress**         | The scan is currently executing. The scan results are not yet available. The scan health transitions to Completed, Error, or Partially Completed when the scan finishes.                                                                                      |

#### Scan status

The scan status applies to CI scans and PR scans only. The scan status indicates the policy evaluation result of the scan, whether the scan passed, failed, or detected issues without triggering a blocking policy.

### Note

Periodic scans do not have a scan status. Periodic scans produce issues and findings but do not evaluate blocking policies. The scan health status is the only health indicator for periodic scans.

| Scan status            | Applies to | Description                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| ---------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Passed**             | CI, PR     | The scan completed and no policy violations were detected. For PR scans, the pull request is not blocked.                                                                                                 |
| **Failed**             | CI, PR     | The scan completed and policy violations were detected that trigger a blocking action. For PR scans, the pull request is blocked by the blocking policy. For CI scans, the CI pipeline reports a failure. |
| **Passed With Issues** | CI, PR     | The scan completed and issues were detected, but no blocking policy violations were triggered. The issues are reported but do not block the PR or CI pipeline.                                            |
| **In Progress**        | CI, PR     | The scan is currently executing. The scan status transitions to Passed, Failed, or Passed With Issues when the scan finishes.                                                                             |
| **Error**              | CI, PR     | The scan failed to complete due to an error. The scan status could not be determined.                                                                                                                     |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/application-security/code-security/application-security-scans-management/manage-scans-through-the-tenant-ui/scan-health-and-status-reference.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
