Managing Targets

Add, remove, and archive targets in your account.

Within the Halo Security dashboard, you can easily add, delete, or archive targets.

Adding Targets

You can add discovered targets from the Assets section or manually add IP addresses or hosts on the add targets page.

Deleting Targets

From the Targets list, you can use the Select tool (pencil icon) to bulk-select targets, then click Delete from the contextual menu. You can also delete targets individually from the target's Settings page.

Deleting targets permanently removes all scan history and collected data from your account. This action cannot be undone.

Archiving Targets

From the Targets list, you can use the Select tool (pencil icon) to bulk-select targets and then click Archive from the contextual menu. You can also archive targets individually from the target's Settings page.

Archiving targets can help retain important historical data for targets that no longer need active scanning.

Archived targets:

  • Do not receive additional scanning.

  • Do not show up in most reports.

  • Do not use any target licensing.

  • Are included in historical risk scores and reports.

  • Retain historical scan data for reference.

Un-archiving Targets

You can easily un-archive a target by visiting Settings -> Archived Targets. Use the pencil icon to select targets, then select Unarchive Checked. You can also unarchive a target on its Settings page.
