Scanner Disabled
A scanner is administratively disabled but still has outstanding jobs. Disabled scanners do not pick up jobs from ingest.
How to
Drain
- If the scanner will return: choose "Drain scanner (24h)" — sets draining_until on the scanner
- Existing jobs continue; no new jobs assigned
- Bring the scanner back to active status when ready (Config > Scanners)
Reassign
- For jobs that need to run elsewhere: choose Reassign and pick an active scanner
Fail
- For jobs that no longer matter: bulk-fail (terminal)
Gotchas
- Re-enabling the scanner does NOT auto-reset draining_until — set status=active, then optionally clear draining_until manually.
- Disabled scanners keep their assigned jobs visible until repaired; they do not auto-fail.
