Tenable.io: Archived Scan Results

over 4 years ago by Sian Jones

🛑

Caution

The information contained in this changelog has been superseded. Refer to Scan Results Archived at 35 Days for the most recent information about scan result archival.

Tenable.io now categorizes as "archived" any individual scan results that are older than 90 days. For archived results, certain API endpoints return limited or no data. However, you can export complete data for archived scan results in .nessus and .csv formats until the results are purged at 15 months old.

This change is limited to results of individual scans and does not impact aggregated scan results in workbenches, dashboards, reports, and other features of Tenable.io.

The following endpoints are affected:
