Scan Engine Executive dashboard

The Executive dashboard includes trend charts and the following overview modules.

Table 1. Executive dashboard overview

Information module	Description
Outstanding technical debt	The total time required to resolve existing technical debt on your platform, based on the effort of a single developer.  It does not include time for testing, validation, or other stages of the software development life-cycle (SDLC). The graph line shows the trend of technical debt over a certain time period. The time period shown depends on available data, with a maximum of 90 days of information displayed.
Technical debt prevented	Reflects the amount of technical debt prevented from entering the instance because of the Scan Engine’s real-time prevention. The graph line shows the trend of technical debt prevented over the past month.
Health score	The health score represents the percentage of definition occurrences used across the platform that did not return any findings. It is calculated as: 1 - (F / D) * 100 Where F is the number of findings, and D is the number of definition occurrences. "Definition occurrences" refers to the total number of times a definition has been executed by the Scan Engine to generate findings.
Health score thresholds	90-100% = Excellent 80-89% = Good 70-79% = Fair Below 70% = At risk
Findings resolved by proposed fix	The number of findings resolved using the proposed fix feature. Note: This feature is only available to ServiceNow customers who have purchased the Impact Total package or the Platform Health add-on.
Findings by categories	The estimated amount of development cost required to resolve all findings within each category. The value shown in the center is the combined total finding of cost, time, or count for all categories
Active definitions	The definitions used to determine violations with the Scan Engine.
Findings resolved by AI	The number of findings resolved using the Code Fix AI Agent feature. Note: This feature is only available to ProPlus customers.

Executive dashboard trend charts

The Executive dashboard includes the following trend charts.

Table 2. Executive dashboard trend charts

Chart	Description
Outstanding technical debt	The amount of development time required to resolve all findings. You can customize the time period using the date selector.
Health score	The percentage of scanned definitions that returned zero findings. This is calculated as: 1 - (F / D) * 100 Where F is the number of findings, and D is the number of definition occurrences.
Outstanding findings	The trend of all findings found during the scheduled instance scan.
Total impact to instance	The total impact to instances, derived from the sum of the scheduled scan findings over the selected time period. Represents the impact of your findings to your instance when a finding is not resolved. You can customize the time period using the date selector.
Real-time preventions	The sum of real-time preventions over the selected time period. A real-time prevention is when the Scan Engine prevents a finding from being saved. You can customize the time period using the date selector.
Total resolved findings	The trends for all resolved findings found from nightly instance scanning over the selected time period. You can customize the time period using the date selector. You can select one of the following display options: All resolved findings Findings by proposed fix applied Findings that were resolved manually Note: The Scan Engine property Track resolved findings must be active to populate this chart. See Configure Scan Engine properties.
Instance comparison	A side-by-side comparison of the technical debt for all instances in the My SN Instances table. Technical debt is broken down by category to quickly view differences between environments.
