How do I stop a running scan

Thomas | Last updated: Mar 29, 2019 01:41PM UTC

Pretty frequently we experience scans which seem to run for a couple of days and block the agent for this time. How can I stop or cancel a running scan in burp enterprise?

If you mouse over the scan you wish to cancel in the Scans page, you should see a cancel scan icon on the right of the console.

Hi. Can this be done programmatically please? Or if a scan has been in a running state for x time period? Ta

You can set a maximum crawl time (Crawl Limits) in the Scan Configuration settings. Would this satisfy your requirements?
