Retrieve the Nessus Agent Linking Key
Before you begin the Nessus Agents installation process, you must retrieve the agent linking key from Nessus Manager.
To retrieve the agent linking key:
-
In the top navigation bar, click Sensors.
The Linked Agents page appears. By default, Linked Agents is selected in the left navigation menu and the Linked Agents tab is active.
-
(Optional) To modify the Linking Key, click the
button next to the linking key.
You may want to modify a linking key if:
- You regenerated your linking key and want to revert to a previous linking key.
- You have a mass deployment script where you want to predefine your linking key.
Note: The linking key must be a 64-character-alphanumeric string.
-
Record or copy the Linking Key.
