Reset an application
Resetting an application purges all the data associated with it, but doesn't remove the application. Resetting applications is useful when you want to clear all history and findings associated with a specific application.
It is common to reset an application before deleting it to make sure that all associated vulnerabilities, URLs and components are cleared properly.
Reset behavior
General behavior:
When you reset an application, it loses its historical vulnerability data, library data, and route coverage data. It keeps its license association and entry in Contrast, as well as its server associations.
Application or server is online:
If you reset an application that is online or its server is online, the count for vulnerabilities, libraries, and routes becomes 0. If you browse some of the application endpoints, data for vulnerabilities, libraries, and routes repopulate. Discovered routes remain lost, because route discovery occurs during application startup.
Application or server is offline:
If you reset the application when the application or its server is offline, all the data populates, as expected.
Before you begin
You can reset only one application at a time.
Caution
If you reset an application, there is no way to restore the purged data.
