Anomalies & Scanning

The Anomalies & Scanning section of Insights summarizes the anomalies found, their current status, and the scanning that produced them.

What the Section Shows

Four panels, each answering a different question about what your checks caught and the scanning that found it.

Anomaly Summary

The center of the card shows Anomalies Identified, the total number of anomalies recorded as of the report date. The ring around it is divided into the six statuses, and those six counts add up to the total, since every anomaly holds exactly one of them. Like the check breakdown, these rows report counts only, with no change percentage.

Each icon sits inside a circle tinted with the same color shown here.

Active and Acknowledged are the open statuses. The other four are archived, and selecting any status opens the Anomalies tab on the matching list.

Containers Scanned and Records Scanned

• Containers Scanned is the number of distinct containers a Scan has covered up to the report date. A container scanned many times is counted once.
• Records Scanned is the total number of records processed by scans up to the report date.

Both carry a percentage beside the total, comparing where the count stood on the report date against where it stood at the start of the timeframe. Hovering it says which timeframe it is measured against. Unlike the Anomaly Summary breakdown above, which reports counts only, these two always show the percentage whenever the card has a value, and a count that did not move reads 0% with a grey dot instead of an arrow.

Failed Check Distribution

Failed Check Distribution is a single horizontal bar split into one segment per check rule type, each sized by how many anomalies that rule type produced. It answers which kinds of rules are failing most often, and where to look first.

A color legend below the bar names each rule type. The Top control chooses whether the 5 or the 10 most common rule types get a segment of their own, and everything past that point is combined into one All Other segment.

Scanning Activity

Scanning Activity charts scanning across the periods of the timeframe.

• A line tracks Scan Runs, the number of scan operations that completed successfully in each period.
• Bars show a second metric for that period, chosen from the dropdown beside the legend. The options are Anomalies Identified and Records Scanned.

Anomalies are counted on the date of the scan that produced them, so a spike in the bars lines up with the scan that found the problem.

The two use separate scales, on the left and right of the chart.

A period earns a point on the Scan Runs line only when at least one scan finished successfully in it. When nothing ran, or everything that ran failed, that period holds no value rather than a value of zero, so the line skips it and bridges the gap with a grey dashed segment. That is the same cue the Data Volume chart uses, and it is why a quiet stretch reads as a break in the line instead of a drop to the bottom of the chart.
