Issues and their lifecycle

How findings become persistent issues, and what Detected, Active, Resolved and Reopened mean.

A finding that appears in several scans is tracked as one issue, so you aren’t told about the same problem as if it were new every time.

The four statuses

Status Meaning
Detected The issue was found for the first time.
Active It is still present in later scans.
Resolved A later scan confirmed the problem is gone.
Reopened A resolved issue came back.

What this means for you

  • Fixing something isn’t enough on its own: run Scan store again so the issue can be confirmed and resolved.
  • If a critical issue is newly found or reopened, Commerce Health can email you. With PRO, issues of other severities can email you too. See Issue email alerts.
  • Scan history cleanup never removes active issues. See Settings.
