Data Timing

Data within Tenable Inventory refreshes on the following cadence:

  • Asset Data — Asset information is updated every time the asset is seen as part of a scan.

  • Tag Application — When a tag is first created, it can take several hours to assign the tag to the appropriate asset, depending on the number of assets and the tag's rules.

  • Tag Reevaluation — Every 12 hours, Tenable Inventory automatically reevaluates tags to ensure they apply to newly discovered assets, and are removed from any inactive assets.

  • Tenable Cloud Security data — Tenable Inventory automatically refreshes Tenable Cloud Security data every 24 hours.
