Trends¶

There is no separate Trending page. Two places show you how things are moving over time.

The chart on the dashboard¶

The dashboard carries a chart of open findings over time. It answers one question: is the backlog going down?

Read it against what you have been doing. A flat line while you are patching usually means new findings are arriving at the rate you are closing them, which is normal for a growing estate and not a failure.

The Data & Quality view¶

Data & Quality shows the history of the matching itself: how much of your inventory resolves to a published software identity, and how that has changed.

It is the view to open when a number on the dashboard looks wrong. A drop in coverage explains a drop in findings, and the two look identical from the dashboard alone.

What to do with a bad trend¶

Findings going up, coverage flat: more vulnerabilities are being published for software you run. Work the bands.

Findings going down, coverage also down: you are not seeing less, you are looking at less. Check the two banners on the dashboard and clear CPE Review.

Findings flat for weeks: check that the agents are still reporting, under Agents › Agent Activity.
