n
Details (column): Links to additional information in the database when the information retrieved
by Nmap exists in the database. Possible link types are:
n
exist: Indicates the machine already exists in the database and matches the Nmap information.
n
different: Indicates the machine already exists in the database, but the Nmap information does
not match.
When a connection to the database exists, detailed information is retrieved. To determine
whether differences exist between the Nmap information and database fields, the tool compares
the following fields:
Nmap Information Database Fields
Machine name [machine_name]
DomainName [domain_name]
Port [machine_connection_http_port]
OperatingSystem [machine_os]
HttpProxyID [http_proxy_id]
n
edit: Indicates the machine is not present in the database, but that a connection to the database
exists. Clicking this link allows you to modify the Nmap information before the machine is
inserted into the database.
When a link exists in the Details column, you can click the link to view information in the
database for that machine. The Machine information dialog box appears and displays
information retrieved by Nmap from the database. You can modify the Nmap information. If
the link indicates the discovered values and database values differ, the differences will be
highlighted.
n
Discovered Values: Displays information for machines retrieved by Nmap. Some of this can
be modified.
n
Database Values: Displays information about the machine retrieved from the database.
n
Accept: Stores modifications in the database when all of the selected machines are imported.
