Scan errors in Burp

Vinod | Last updated: Apr 15, 2015 04:14PM UTC

I ran an active scan using Burp. The scan was abandoned due to multiple errors. I would like view the error logs so that I could figure out what went wrong. How do I check these errors?

The Alerts tab in Burp will contain details of any applicable errors. Scans being abandoned due to too many errors normally occurs because of failed or timed out network connections. If you are seeing lots of network errors, you can configure how many retries Burp will perform and how long it will wait before retries at Scanner / Options / Active Scanning Engine. You might also need to decrease the number of scan threads if the application or network is being overloaded.
