Run checks now

You can run checks on demand rather than wait for the normal schedule. You can rerun failed checks, run all checks on devices, or run a specific check for one individual device. Until Run Check actions are issued to the device, you can cancel the action.

The Agent uses a Persistent Outbound Connection mechanism to perform actions in near real-time from the All Devices view.

If there are pending actions for a device, the Run Checks option is disabled for that device. To enable the option, you can wait for the pending actions to run, or you can cancel the Manage Pending Actions.

2. Select the checkboxes for the checks you want to rerun and select Run checks to run the checks immediately.
