# Turn discovery schedules on or off

`POST /api/v1/discoveries/bulk-set-enabled`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.scanopy.net`
- URL: `https://app.scanopy.net/api/v1/discoveries/bulk-set-enabled`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `Authorization`
  - API key in cookie `session_id`

Turns the schedule of each scheduled discovery on or off, and changes nothing else about
them. The request is refused, and nothing changes, if any discovery has no schedule or is
running.

## Request body

- BulkSetEnabledRequest
  - `enabled` boolean, required: Whether their schedules run.
  - `ids` string[], required: IDs of the scheduled discoveries.

## Response `200`

Schedules updated

- ApiResponseVecDiscovery: Envelope for a successful response. Failures are sent with a non-2xx status and an `ApiErrorResponse` body instead.
  - `data` object[]: The result payload. Omitted on failure.
    - `daemon_id` string, uuid, required: The daemon this entity refers to.
    - `discovery_type` union, required
      - object
        - `host_id` string, uuid, required: The host the daemon is running on.
        - `type` 'SelfReport', required
      - object
        - `host_naming_fallback` 'Ip' | 'BestService', required
        - `snmp_credentials` object: SNMP credentials for querying devices during discovery Server builds this mapping before initiating discovery
        - `subnet_ids` string[], nullable, required: Subnets to sweep. `null` sweeps every subnet on the site.
        - `type` 'Network', required
      - object
        - `host_id` string, uuid, required: The host the daemon is running on.
        - `host_naming_fallback` 'Ip' | 'BestService', required
        - `type` 'Docker', required
      - object: A one-shot verification of known hosts: re-check the addresses and ports already recorded for them, rather than sweeping a subnet. One rescan covers every requested host that the same daemon last found. Created by the server only (never via the API) and deleted once its session reaches a terminal phase, so it is not a discovery configuration anyone owns or sees in their scan list.
        - `host_id` string, uuid, required: ID of the host that the daemon is running on — same meaning as every other variant. The hosts being rescanned are `target_host_ids`.
        - `ips` string[], required: Addresses to scan on those hosts.
        - `ports` PortType[]: Ports already known on those hosts, re-checked on every address to confirm they are still open. Scanned in addition to the standard discovery set, so a rescan also surfaces newly-opened services.
          - `number` integer, required: TCP or UDP port number
          - `protocol` 'Udp' | 'Tcp', required: Transport protocol the port is open on.
          - `type` 'Ssh' | 'Telnet' | 'DnsUdp' | 'DnsTcp' | 'Samba' | 'Nfs' | 'Ftp' | 'Ipp' | 'LdpTcp' | 'LdpUdp' | 'Ldap' | 'Ldaps' | 'Kerberos' | 'Snmp' | 'SnmpAlt' | 'Rdp' | 'Ntp' | 'Sip' | 'SipTls' | 'Rtsp' | 'Dhcp' | 'Http' | 'MySql' | 'PostgreSQL' | 'MongoDB' | 'Redis' | 'MsSql' | 'Docker' | 'DockerTls' | 'Kubernetes' | 'RabbitMqMgmt' | 'Cassandra' | 'Elasticsearch' | 'InfluxDb' | 'CouchDb' | 'Kafka' | 'Http3000' | 'Http5000' | 'Http8080' | 'Http8081' | 'Http8082' | 'Http8888' | 'Http9000' | 'Https' | 'Https8443' | 'Https9443' | 'Https10443' | 'Mqtt' | 'MqttTls' | 'AMQP' | 'AMQPTls' | 'Wireguard' | 'OpenVPN' | 'BACnet' | 'ModbusTcp' | 'OpcUa' | 'EtherNetIp' | 'JetDirect' | 'Custom': Well-known port identifier. Auto-derived from number+protocol, so it is optional on create.
        - `settings` RescanSettings: Scan settings that apply to a single-host rescan. Deliberately narrower than [`ScanSettings`]: a rescan verifies a known host against a known port set, so the full-scan mechanism (`is_full_scan`, `full_scan_interval`) must not be expressible — promoting a rescan to a 65,535-port sweep defeats the feature. The remaining omissions are settings that cannot bind on a one-or-two address target.
          - `arp_retries` integer, nullable: ARP retry rounds. Matters more here than in a sweep: for a rescan, "did it answer" is the entire answer, so a missed round reads as a dead host.
          - `port_scan_batch_size` integer, nullable: Ports scanned concurrently per host.
          - `probe_raw_socket_ports` boolean: Whether to probe raw-socket ports 9100-9107. Correctness-affecting: with this off the scanner drops those ports from its results, so a printer's known JetDirect port would look like it had disappeared.
          - `scan_rate_pps` integer, nullable: Port scan probes per second. Operators lower this for fragile devices or noisy IDS, and a rescan must respect that as much as a discovery does.
          - `trust_port_only_detections` boolean: Carried into a rescan: a rescan of a host on a routed subnet runs the same evidence check, and it would be strange for a host to survive a scan and vanish on rescan, or the reverse.
          - `use_npcap_arp` boolean: On Windows, use Npcap broadcast ARP instead of SendARP.
        - `target_host_ids` string[], required: The hosts being rescanned. Reads the single `target_host_id` that rescans stored before multi-host rescans carry, and that older daemons echo back, as a list of one.
        - `type` 'Rescan', required
      - object
        - `host_id` string, uuid, required: ID of the host that the daemon is running on
        - `host_naming_fallback` 'Ip' | 'BestService', required
        - `scan_settings` ScanSettings: Scan performance settings. Lives on the discovery entity. Numeric fields are `Option<T>` — `None` means "use daemon default". The daemon unwraps with defaults at point of use.
          - `arp_rate_pps` integer, nullable: ARP packets per second (default: 50)
          - `arp_retries` integer, nullable: ARP retry rounds for non-responsive targets (default: 2 = 3 total attempts)
          - `arp_scan_cutoff` integer, nullable: ARP scan cutoff prefix. Interfaced subnets larger than this prefix are truncated to this many IPs. Default: 15 (= /15, ~131K IPs). Lower values scan more IPs — increase arp_rate_pps accordingly.
          - `full_scan_interval` integer, nullable: Run a full 65k port scan every N scans. Other scans use a light port set. Default: 3. Value of 0 means never full scan. Value of 1 means every scan is full.
          - `is_full_scan` boolean: Whether this specific scan run should do a full 65k port scan. Set by the server before dispatching to the daemon — not user-configurable.
          - `max_discovery_duration` integer, nullable: Hard ceiling on how long a single discovery run may take, in seconds (default: 21600 = 6h). When hit, the run force-completes and any hosts still queued are left un-scanned until the next run. Raise this for very large networks that legitimately need more than the default window.
          - `port_scan_batch_size` integer, nullable: Ports scanned concurrently per host (default: 200, clamped 16-1000)
          - `probe_raw_socket_ports` boolean: Whether to probe raw-socket ports 9100-9107 (default: false). Disabled by default to prevent ghost printing on JetDirect printers.
          - `scan_rate_pps` integer, nullable: Port scan probes per second (default: 500)
          - `trust_port_only_detections` boolean: Whether an open TCP port alone is enough to record a host on a subnet the daemon reaches *through* something (default: false). On a subnet the daemon has an interface on, ARP answers first and this never applies. On a routed one every address arrives enumerated, and a middlebox that completes the TCP handshake for addresses with nothing behind them — a FortiGate session helper, a load balancer, a scrubbing appliance — makes every address look open. With this off, such an address is recorded only when something actually answered: a probe that spoke the protocol, an endpoint that replied, a credential that authenticated. Turning it on restores the older behaviour for hosts whose every open port is one Scanopy cannot interrogate. That is a real class of host — a bespoke TCP service on a routed subnet — which is why the escape hatch exists rather than the rule simply being absolute.
          - `use_npcap_arp` boolean: On Windows, use Npcap broadcast ARP instead of SendARP (default: false)
        - `subnet_ids` string[], nullable, required: Subnets to scan. None = scan all interfaced subnets.
        - `type` 'Unified', required
    - `name` string, required: Human-facing name for this discovery.
    - `run_type` union, required
      - object
        - `cron_schedule` string, required: Cron expression deciding when the scan runs.
        - `enabled` boolean, required: Whether the schedule is active.
        - `last_run` string, date-time, nullable: When the scan last ran.
        - `timezone` string, nullable: IANA timezone for cron evaluation, e.g. "America/New_York". None = UTC.
        - `type` 'Scheduled', required
      - object: Historical discovery runs are created by the server and cannot be submitted via API
        - `results` DiscoveryUpdatePayload, required: Progress update from daemon to server during discovery
          - `credential_results` CredentialRunResult[]: What each stored credential did in this run, one entry per credential. Results, not problems: those are `warnings`. Old servers ignore it. Read per entry, like `warnings`: an outcome shape from a newer daemon becomes `Unknown` for that credential instead of failing the terminal payload.
            - `credential_id` string, uuid, required: The credential these results belong to.
            - `outcome` union, required
              - …
          - `daemon_id` string, uuid, required: The daemon this entity refers to.
          - `daemon_version` string, nullable: The daemon's version when the run ended. Stamped by the server at terminal, so it survives the daemon being deleted or upgraded.
          - `discovery_id` string, uuid, nullable: The discovery configuration this session belongs to. Always enriched server-side; daemons do not send this field.
          - `discovery_type` union, required
            - object
              - …
            - object
              - …
            - object
              - …
            - object: A one-shot verification of known hosts: re-check the addresses and ports already recorded for them, rather than sweeping a subnet. One rescan covers every requested host that the same daemon last found. Created by the server only (never via the API) and deleted once its session reaches a terminal phase, so it is not a discovery configuration anyone owns or sees in their scan list.
              - …
            - object
              - …
          - `error` string, nullable: Failure message, when the run did not complete.
          - `estimated_remaining_secs` integer, nullable: Rough estimate of the time left, in seconds.
          - `finished_at` string, date-time, nullable: When the run finished. `null` while it is still going.
          - `hosts_discovered` integer, nullable: Hosts found so far.
          - `last_update_at` string, date-time, nullable: When the server last heard about this run. Stamped by the server at terminal.
          - `phase` 'AwaitingSnapshot' | 'Queued' | 'Pending' | 'Starting' | 'Started' | 'Scanning' | 'Complete' | 'Failed' | 'Cancelled', required
          - `progress` integer, required: Completion of the current phase, from 0 to 1.
          - `reason` 'Completed' | 'UserCancelled' | 'DaemonReportedFailure' | 'StalledNoUpdates' | 'DaemonRestarted' | 'DaemonUnreachable' | 'DaemonBusy' | 'WatchdogTimeout' | 'DaemonOffline' | 'SessionSilent' | 'DaemonDroppedSession': Why a session reached its terminal phase. `phase` says *that* a run ended; this says *why*. A stall reaped by the server, a daemon that lost its state in a restart and a user pressing cancel all used to land as the same phase with no way to tell them apart afterwards, which is what made stall reports undiagnosable. The server decides every reason except the two the daemon alone can know, see [`Self::daemon_assigned`]. Absent on runs recorded before this field existed.
          - `scanned` ScannedEntityIds: Canonical IDs of entities scanned in a discovery session. Populated daemon-side at terminal phase from `EntityBuffer`'s `Created` entries. Travels with the terminal `DiscoveryUpdatePayload` to the server, rides the in-memory `EntityOperation::Created` event published for the historical Discovery row (the event scope carries `Entity::Discovery` with the full struct, including `run_type::Historical { results }`), then is stripped before persisting into the historical Discovery row's JSONB (see the `SqlValue::RunType` bind_value handler in `backend/src/server/shared/storage/generic.rs`). Per-entity-service subscribers extract `results.scanned` from the in-memory event and call `DiscoveryFkUpdater::update_discovery_fks` to backfill `last_discovery_id` / `first_discovery_id` on the matched rows. Naming: `scanned_*` because the daemon scans entities — some submissions match existing rows (refresh), others insert new rows. Both populate the EntityBuffer with canonical (server-assigned) IDs.
            - `binding_ids` string[]: Service bindings touched by this discovery.
            - `found_subnet_ids` string[]: Subnets this discovery found without sweeping: ranges riding in a host request, ranges the server inferred or placed addresses into, and ranges holding an address the scan saw. Filled by the server, never by a daemon. Kept apart from `subnet_ids` because the digest reads that list as the ranges the scan *swept*, and counting a range it only found evidence in would report every unobserved host there as stale. The discovery FKs take both.
            - `host_ids` string[]: Hosts touched by this discovery.
            - `interface_ids` string[]: Interfaces touched by this discovery.
            - `ip_address_ids` string[]: IP addresses touched by this discovery.
            - `port_ids` string[]: Ports touched by this discovery.
            - `service_ids` string[]: Services touched by this discovery.
            - `subnet_ids` string[]: Subnets touched by this discovery.
            - `vlan_ids` string[]: VLANs touched by this discovery.
          - `session_id` string, uuid, required: The discovery run this update belongs to.
          - `site_id` string, uuid, required: The site this entity belongs to.
          - `started_at` string, date-time, nullable: When the run started.
          - `warnings` DiscoveryWarning[]: Non-fatal findings from a completed run — one per occurrence, each carrying the code that identifies it and the detail that fills the sentence. Unlike `error`, these do not mark the run failed. Read through [`deserialize_warnings`] rather than the derived impl, which is what keeps historical records and pre-coded daemons rendering: both send bare strings here, and both land as `Unknown` carrying that text instead of failing the whole payload.
            - union: A single non-fatal finding from one discovery run, about one device, neighbour, or the scan itself. Serialized with the code as the tag, so the generated TypeScript is a discriminated union the UI can switch on exhaustively. The derived `Deserialize` reads that shape; the leniency that keeps historical records and pre-coded daemons working lives in [`deserialize_warnings`], which is applied at the one field that holds these.
              - …
        - `type` 'Historical', required
      - object
        - `last_run` string, date-time, nullable: When the scan last ran.
        - `type` 'AdHoc', required
    - `site_id` string, uuid, required: The site this entity belongs to.
    - `tags` string[], required: Tags assigned to this entity.
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required: When this record was first created.
    - `force_full_scan` boolean: When true, the next scan will be a full port scan regardless of interval
    - `id` string, uuid, required: Server-assigned unique identifier.
    - `integration_targets` IntegrationTarget[], required: Per-daemon integration targeting: which integrations run on this daemon, and on which IPs. Delivered via the init command at registration and editable via the discovery modal. This is the single home for cred↔IP targeting; it replaces the global `credential.target_ips` (race-prone, consumed once). One-shot: a target is offered to the daemon until a scan completes successfully, then dropped by [`Discovery::apply_successful_scan`]. Credentials that earned a durable home during the scan keep being retried from there — `host_credentials` for one that probed successfully, `site_credentials` for a broadcast one (see [`Discovery::take_site_scope_credential_ids`]).
      - union: Per-daemon integration targeting, stored on the `Discovery` entity and delivered via the init command at registration. Each entry references exactly one stored credential and says where it applies on this daemon. This is the single home for cred↔IP targeting — it replaces the global, race-prone `credential.target_ips`. The variants ARE the scopes; their strum [`Target`] discriminants are the capability enum that `CredentialType::targets()` returns and validates against (single source of truth). Every target carries a real `credential_id` — there is no credential-less branch and no nil sentinel; a local socket is just a credential whose type targets only the daemon host.
        - object: The daemon's own host — realized as a 127.0.0.1 IP-override (e.g. a local Docker/Podman socket, or any credential the user pins to the daemon host without naming its IP).
          - `credential_id` string, uuid, required: Credential to use on the daemon host.
          - `scope` 'DaemonHost', required
        - object: All hosts on the site, as a broadcast default credential. Daemons at or below `last_without_site_wire` call this scope `"Network"`; the wire rewrite in `server/shared/legacy.rs` translates it both ways.
          - `credential_id` string, uuid, required: Credential to use across the site.
          - `scope` 'Site', required
        - object: Specific host IPs — one IP-override per address.
          - `credential_id` string, uuid, required: Credential to use on the listed addresses.
          - `ips` string[], required: The host addresses this credential applies to.
          - `scope` 'Hosts', required
    - `next_run_is_full_scan` boolean: Whether the next run of this discovery will be a full scan of all 65,535 ports rather than a light scan of common ports. Computed by the server on read and never stored.
    - `scan_count` integer: Number of completed scans (incremented by server on session completion)
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, required: When this record was last modified.
  - `error` string, nullable: Not sent on a successful response. Failure messages arrive in an `ApiErrorResponse`.
  - `meta` ApiMeta, required: API metadata included in all responses
    - `api_version` integer, required: API version (integer, increments on breaking changes)
    - `server_version` string, required: Server version (semver)
  - `success` boolean, required: Always `true` on a successful response.
