Feature · Nightly watch

A dependency that was safe at your last deployment can become critical six months later. Every night, LibWatch re-checks the inventory of all your projects against new vulnerabilities, without re-reading your repositories.

Analysis and watch

## Two complementary mechanisms

On every push or scheduled
### An analysis

— Re-reads the repository's dependency files.

— Updates the inventory.

— Uses one analysis from your plan.

Every night
### The nightly watch

— Doesn't re-read the repository.

— Re-checks the known inventory against new vulnerabilities.

— Uses no analyses.

Frequently asked questions

## About the nightly watch

### Is the watch included during the trial?

 Yes. During the 14-day trial, you get every feature of the plan you chose, nightly watch included.

### What if a project hasn't been analyzed for a long time?

 The watch covers projects analyzed in the last 90 days. Beyond that, run a new analysis to bring the inventory up to date: the watch picks it up again the following night.

### Can I choose the time?

 No. The watch starts every night at 2 a.m. Paris time and is spread over two hours. Scheduled analyses, on the other hand, are set project by project: daily, weekly or monthly.

## Tonight, your projects will be checked again.
