Export scan

Export the specified scan. To see the status of the requested export, submit an export status request. On receiving a "ready" status from the export-status request, download the export file using the export download method.

Note: Unlike other export formats, the Nessus file format includes individual open port findings. This ensures you can still view open port findings in Tenable Security Center if your organization integrates Tenable Vulnerability Management with Tenable Security Center.

Note: If you request a scan export in the nessus file format, but do not specify filters for the export, Tenable Vulnerability Management truncates the plugins output data in the export file at 5 MB or 5,000,000 characters, and appends TRUNCATED (bracketed by three asterisks) at the end of the output in the export file. You can obtain the full plugins output by exporting the scan in any other file format than nessus.

Note: Vulnerability findings with a first_observed date within the last 14 days are marked in the exported results as being in the New state. Vulnerability findings with a first_observed date older than 14 days are marked in the exported results as being in the Active state.

Requires the Scan Operator [24] user role and Can View [16] scan permissions. See Roles and Permissions.
