Migrate your Managed Risk Scanner configuration manually

You can manually migrate all Managed Risk Scanner configurations, preferences, and scan schedules.

Before you begin

• Install your new scanner. If you have a physical scanner, complete the instructions that Arctic Wolf sent to you. If you have a virtual sensor, see Managed Risk Scanner Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
• If you are migrating a physical scanner, contact your Concierge Security Team® (CST) to replace the hardware.
• Make sure the required IP address ranges are allowlisted.
• Verify that your new scanner is registered and that it can connect to Arctic Wolf. See Scanner Configuration for more information.
• Arctic Wolf® recommends doing one of these actions:
  • Open two instances of the Risk Dashboard to view both the old and new scanners.
  • Take screenshots of the old scanner configuration, troubleshooting settings, and scan schedules for future reference.

Steps

1. Migrate configuration settings and preferences.
2. Migrate scan schedules.

Step 1: Migrate configuration settings and preferences

1. In the Risk Dashboard, click Config > Scanner Config.
2. In the Scanner ID field, confirm that the new scanner is selected.

   • Host Collection DNS Servers
4. Click Troubleshooting Settings.
5. In the Troubleshooting settings dialog, configure these settings to match the old scanner:
   • Brute force checks
   • CGI scanning
   • Only ping the target

Step 2: Migrate scan schedules

For each schedule that you want to migrate, complete these steps:

1. In the Scanning Schedule section, click Add a new scan schedule, and then enter all scan schedule details. See Add a new scan schedule for instructions.
2. Click Configure.
3. In the Scanner Configuration section, click the magnifying glass, and then select your old scanner UUID.
4. Click the delete beside the scan schedules that you migrated to the new scanner.
