About Remote Scans

Code Insight has the ability to scan files on a remote system and manage the inventory items created from this remote location. This remote scan allows you to integrate automatic package-level scanning into your build process using a Code Insight scan-agent plugin. This integration includes automated package discovery (see Automated Analysis) and targeted components.
