Debug Log Reporting

Plugin #84239: Debugging Log Report. Logs generated by other plugins are reported by this plugin. Plugin debugging must be enabled in the policy in order for this plugin to run.

The plugins that call Cisco Meraki integration are:

• Cisco Meraki Settings: cisco_meraki_settings.nasl

• Cisco Meraki Data Collection: cisco_meraki_collect.nasl

When "Discover Devices" is enabled in the Cisco Meraki credential, Nessus doesn't need every target IP to query the Meraki Dashboard independently. It performs a global query once.

For those hosts not configured as the target, cisco_meraki_collect.nasl plugin generates following message: Data collection previously executed. Please refer to logs on host $TARGET

The message means that this specific host (the "non-target") is skipping the collection phase because the data has already been fetched by the designated collection host.
