Configure Agent Update Plan

You can configure the Tenable Nessus Agent version that Tenable Nessus Manager offers to its linked Tenable Nessus Agents to update to from the Agent Updates page.

You can choose from one of the three agent update plans:

Agent Update Plan	Description
GA releases	(Default) Tenable Nessus Manager allows its Tenable Nessus Agents to update to the latest generally available (GA) version automatically.
Early Access releases	Tenable Nessus Manager allows its Tenable Nessus Agents to update to the latest version automatically when it is released for Early Access (typically a few weeks before GA).
Stable releases	Tenable Nessus Agents do not automatically update to the latest version and remain on an earlier version set by Tenable (usually one release older than the current generally available version).

To configure the agent update plan:

1. 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.

2. In the left navigation bar, click Agent Updates.

   The Agent Updates page appears.

3. Under Agent Update Plan, select the plan you want to use for updating Tenable Nessus Agents.

4. Click Save.

   After saving, you might want to update the Tenable Nessus Agent version that Tenable Nessus Manager offers from the Tenable Nessus feed. For more information, see Configure the Offered Tenable Nessus Agent Version.
