### Parameters {#parameters}

##### `ALIAS` {#mc.admin.scanner.status.ALIAS}

*mc-cmd*

*Required*

The [alias](/reference/minio-mc/mc-alias-set/#alias) of the MinIO deployment for which to display [scanner](/operations/concepts/scanner/#minio-concepts-scanner) API operations.

##### `--bucket` {#mc.admin.scanner.status.-bucket}

*mc-cmd*

*Optional*

Filter scanner statistics to the specified bucket.

##### `--interval` {#mc.admin.scanner.status.-interval}

*mc-cmd*

*Optional*
