Unlink agents that have been inactive for X days |
Specifies the number of days an agent can be inactive before the manager unlinks the agent. After the specified number of days, the agent is unlinked, but not uninstalled. Tenable.io automatically tracks unlinked agents and related data for the number of days specified in this option. You cannot turn off this tracking. Note: Inactive agents that are automatically unlinked by Tenable.io do not automatically relink when they come back online. |
| Override Blackout Windows | |
| Exclude all agents from software updates |
When enabled, this option overrides scheduled blackout windows. It prevents agents from receiving software updates at any time. Agents continue to receive plugin updates and perform scheduled scans. |
