# Environment Terminology This page is a guide to the terminology P0 uses for environment scans. * **Environment** - The systems that P0 will analyze; consists of a name, scan frequency, and the targets from which P0 will collect data * **Detection** - A match for a monitor query on a single scan * **Finding** - An evolving history of detections for a single query match, across multiple scans; findings also have a status and you may attach notes to a finding; statuses are: * **Open** - The finding has been detected in the latest scan * **Ignored** - The finding has been manually ignored by an assessment owner * **Resolved** - The finding was not detected in the latest scan * **Monitor** - A query that will run automatically on every scan; it also includes a description, severity, and any suggested remediation actions * **Scan** - A single data collection and analysis run for an environment * **Target** - A single system to be scanned; this is the integration and specification of what to scan; e.g. AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions, Google Cloud organizations, projects, or folders, Kubernetes clusters, or Okta or Workspace domains * **Query** - A search of a scan's data for a specific set of terms; a query is composed of a "show" part (describing what element of the IAM configuration to return) and a "where" part (describing conditions that the shown elements must match) * **Query Result** - A single match for a query; a query may return 0 or more results --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
