Vulnerability Management: Immediate Plugin Update Setting

about 1 year ago by Levi Beverly

Tenable has added the immediate_plugin_update parameter to the Tenable Vulnerability Management agent profile API calls.

  • When set to true, agents update to a newly assigned plugin set on their next check-in, within 2000 seconds, instead of waiting for the daily plugin update check. This applies only when pluginset specifies a 12-digit plugin set and the profile changes from one plugin set to a different one. It has no effect when pluginset is latest or a delay value.
  • When set to false or omitted, agents update their plugin sets according to their regular check-in cycle, which occurs at least every 24 hours.
  • Requires Tenable Agent 11.0.1 or later.

This update affects the following endpoints:
